Golden Lion of Biennale Danza 2025

© Twyla Tharp

In this dazzling celebration of her company’s 60th Anniversary, Twyla Tharp presents a double bill that offer audiences a breathtaking vista of her range as an icon in American dance.

Tharp takes on Beethoven’s intensely demanding Diabelli Variations, making visible the composer’s layered genius in her piece Diabelli. With each section of the Beethoven, unique in mood and texture, Tharp’s response—tender, teasing, transcendent, cheeky—commands all of the performers’ technical prowess and energy. The dancers change effortlessly from ballet to jazz to modern, with unexpected bits of social dance.

Glass’s iconic music comes alive in Tharp’s new work, SLACKTIDE, featuring a bold new arrangement created and performed live by members of the Grammy-winning Third Coast Percussion. Tharp’s dancers capture all the rhythmic, propulsive energy of this Glass suite, invigorated by a collection of custom-designed instruments.

Akram Khan
Returns to His roots

© Maxime Dos

So that was where he came from, and the story puts in place several elements that went on to recur throughout Khan’s career: classical kathak, contemporary dance, commercial dance, famous figures, international touring, a strong technique and a compelling stage presence. Yet to “come from” somewhere is about more than personal biography: it’s also about cultural milieu.

Sanjoy Roy

A choreographer and dancer rooted in the tradition of his practice, and a creative interpreter of stories that need to be ‘felt’ – Akram has revolutionised the world of dance. His deeply moving style is simultaneously poetic, innovative and experiential underpinned by intelligently crafted narrative structures. With his bilingual mastery of Kathak and contemporary dance, he has developed a uniquely individual voice as a protagonist of cross-cultural encounters. It is this very encounter, that provokes a personal need for this new creation: a unique work featuring an ensemble of seven renowned artists of Indian Classical Dance (including Akram himself) and seven live Indian Classical musicians.

Drawing from his deep-seated connection to traditional practices and his ability to weave narratives through movement, Akram’s GIGENIS transcends time, invoking the collective memories of our civilisation. It is not just a performance but a profound statement — a testament to the enduring resonance of tradition in a rapidly changing world.
