An utopian ball night – a futuristic dance ball

 

“Time is out of joint” – yesterday is dancing with tomorrow. Liquid Loft and PHACE are contributing a “utopian ball night” to the Johann Strauss 2025 Vienna festival year – an etude in esprit and euphoria in the spirit of the composer. Strauss, Vienna’s waltz king, composed his dance piece Seid umschlungen, Millionen! in 1892: ten minutes of exuberance, idealism and world reconciliation. The freedom of rearranging Strauss’s late work also spans the centuries, combining electronic preparation with live music. People dance and make music, sound and movement become one in the ballroom of historical futurism. The title of the waltz goes back to Friedrich Schiller’s Ode to Joy, a poem in which the dream of a “better world”, a democracy of the flying sparks of the gods, is intact: This kiss, as Schiller suggests, belongs to the whole world.
