Unter der Leitung von Bettina Holzhausen, im Rahmen der Vermittlung des Balletts des Opernhaus Zürich, haben drei Choreografinnen mit drei verschiedenen Laiengruppen ein Stück von je 20 Minuten Dauer erarbeitet. Inspiration dazu diente das Ballett "les Noces" von Bronislava Nijinska welches im Opernhaus Zürich aufgeführt wurde.
Parallel zur choreografischen Arbeit der Gruppen entwickelten drei Studierende des Studiengangs Master Composi- tion and Theory, gecoacht und begleitet durch den Komponisten und Musiker Luca Magni, die passen- de Musik dazu.Die Proben starteten im Mai dieses Jahres und wurden nun - vom 9.-11. Juli 2024 auf der Studiobühne des Opernhaus Zürich aufgeführt.
