WAITING ROOM

Commissioned by Silvana Schröder for the Thüringen Staatsballet, Waiting Room premiered to a full house on the 6th June 2014 in the Großes Haus, Gera, Germany. With the fifty piece orchestra of the Theater und Philharmonie Thüringen and twenty dancers, Waiting Room is set in an airport and explores some of the many quirks and idiosyncrasies of our digital, interconnected world. There were 10 performances over the course of 2014 and 2015.
