Tabula, Compagnie Linga
Compagnie Linga (Switzerland)
- The MOS Stage
- Premiere: 13.04.2015
In TABULA the rules of the game are constantly changed by the impressive set movements. Here space is keyword. A space that is shared, conquered, and claimed by the eight dancers, who provide a highly-sensitive, contrasting, and powerful interpretation. Endlessly adaptable, the set space is no longer a rigid envelope, but living, elastic substance, turning into a thousand playgrounds where the most unlikely alliances and hostilities are deployed.

She then studied at the Academy of Vaganova of St-Petersburg and at the National Ballet School in Gdansk. In 1985 she entered Maurice Béjart’s Ballet du XXe Siècle and remained with the company as principal dancer until 1992, in which with Marco Cantalupo she founded Compagnie Linga, for which she has co-authored over forty choreographies.
Marco Cantalupo was born in Genova (Italy). He studied at The Scala Theatre Ballet School in Milan followed by the Hamburg Opera Ballet School, where he graduated. Several stays in the US gave him the opportunity to study the Limon technique. He danced with the Hamburg Opera, and then as a soloist with the Staatstheather Gelsenkirchen, the National Ballet of Portugal, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Stadttheater Bern and the Béjart Ballet Lausanne. He choreographed for a number of independent projects in Italy before founding Compagnie Linga with Katarzyna Gdaniec.
