After the huge success in Australia of “Take Me With You” choreographed by Robert Bondary, the ballet triptych “BER” returns to the Grand Theatre in Poznań!
Due to the International Dance Day, the audience from Lublin has a unique chance to experience this spectacle.
This is one of the most significant ballet performances in recent times. Three choreographers, three movement’s visions, three views of the contemporary times and just one question: What is dance?
BER, like the mechanism of DNA repair. Like the method to bring in fresh air, dynamics, energy, rhythm. Like an impulse to find anew the pleasure coming from movement – both for the creators and for the viewers. A great recommendation for those who did not yet discover that they were contemporary dance enthusiasts.
B for Bondara Robert – an increasingly important name in the dance circles, and his choreographies are shown on the most important dance festivals in Poland and abroad.
E for Ekman Alexander – the world-famous star of contemporary choreography, he worked with over forty ensembles all around the world.
R for Rimeikis Martynas – the artistic director of the Lithuanian National Ballet company, the most recognised choreographer of the young generation in Lithuania.
“BER” is a great combination of:
– the choreography of superb artists.
– the music of: Radiohead, Steve Reich, Meredith Monk, Mikael Karlsson, Ane Burn and Erik Satie.
– the talent of the Poznań Grand Theatre’s artists.
By participating in the event we can experience the best things that dance has to offer: The freshness, the dynamic, energy and the passion present in every gesture, step and the relationship between the dancers. Exquisitely matched, iconic music completes the impression of high artistic skills and creativity of the originators of this unique event, perfectly combining the beauty of classical dance with contemporary choreographic trends.
The Internet premiere of the triptych was watched by over 20,000 viewers from all over the world. Let’s join to this numerous group on the 26th of April!
Robert Bondara: „Take Me With You”
Radiohead’s music was always present in my life. I think the idea to use it one day and to create choreography has always lived within me. Maybe this is the reason why I’ve never decided to watch Edward Clug’s Radio & Juliet – not to be influenced before creating my own work.
The catchy percussion beat of the Radiohead song “Reckoner” became the first trigger and a source of inspiration for movement language and choreography. Getting deeper into the creative process and the vague lyrics of the song in a very personal way, the content of the choreography got closer to a reflection about our existence, our efforts to grasp the meaning of life despite “bittersweet distractors”. What is essential for the piece is the metaphysical experience and elusive atmosphere, determining the relation between the dancers on stage. This is how the duet “Take Me With You” was born in 2016, created for the Polish National Ballet soloists – Yuka Ebihara and Kristóf Szabó. The duet became popular and was performed by Roberto Bolle and Melissa Hamilton and later on by Czech National Ballet, Stanislavsky Ballet in Moscow, Slovakian National Ballet, and presented on Gala performances around the globe.
Since creating the duet I always wanted to extend it. Finally the opportunity came up and I was able to create a piece with the company I’m currently running – Poznań Opera Ballet. The choreography’s basic principles stayed the same: Our dreams, fears and aspirations, the social pressure to which we are exposed, and finally our efforts to find balance between our inner life and the world outside sets the tone and atmosphere of “Take Me With You”, all expressed by the dancers’ bodies.

Martynas Rimeikis: „Blind Words”
Using words, we create mazes that we try to escape form afterwards looking for silence. Language is our creation and more often than not it is unable to convey the idea we want to express. Therefore, we often fill words with connotations that we prefer, drowning in interpretations and at the same time misleading others. They cause different situations ranging from drama to comedy…

Alexander Ekman: „Episode 31”
Episode 31 was created for The Senior Graduation Class at The Juilliard School, 2011 in New York City. It is a large group piece consisting of a number of fast paced scenes created with the dancers.
From an upbeat drumming sequence to a quiet comment on beauty by Eric Satie, this piece is a showcase for the young enthusiastic energy from these very athletic dancers. When we created this piece we also experimented with dance in public locations: 20 dancers suddenly busted out dancing, in the subways, streets, squares and parks of New York City.
The piece was first premiered at the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre and then toured to the Edinburgh Festival in 2012. Since then Episode 31 has become part of the repertoire of the Joffrey Ballet, The Finnish National Ballet, Royal New Zealand Ballet and the Pennsylvania Ballet among others.
