"My dance never stands still, even life never stops," says Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui to the "Krone". The Belgian, who works with the best dance companies in the world, staged his first production at the Linz Musiktheater. The premiere of the double dance evening "Fall/Orbo Novo" showed the Tanz Linz company from completely unexpected sides, while the pieces themselves are explosive and highly topical.

"Everything flows" is not an empty phrase, but a dance principle that Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui - a Belgian star choreographer who also has Moroccan roots - bases his piece "Fall" on. It was first performed at the Ghent Opera in 2015 and is now being restaged at the Linz Musiktheater.
