Golden Lion of Biennale Danza 2025
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.
