The show schedule is as follows:
Friday, May 7th
Orbo Novo (New World) - Choreography by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui

Saturday, May 8th
Sunday, Again – Choreography by Jo Strømgren
Set to Johan Sebastian Bach, Strømgren tells the simple story of a couple taxed by the quirks of cohabitation by weaving abstract movement patterns with baroque musical ornamentation.
Ten Duets on a Theme of Rescue - Choreography by Crystal Pite
Set to music from the film Solaris, Canadian choreographer and dancer Pite explores movement that embodies the spirit of liberation.
frame of view - Choreography by Didy Veldman
