Program

Witness the award-winning Australian company Gravity & Other Myths as they redefine the laws of gravity. In Europe the troupe rocketed to fame with their show A Simple Space, which caused a sensation at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in Recklinghausen. In their latest production, Backbone, all physical laws appear to have been suspended as the dancers pile up one on top of the other, like vertebrae, to build a column of breath-taking loftiness, only to tumble down again in a spectacular collapse.

Theater Lichtermeer invite us to join them for a fantastic trip to Neverland.

Get ready to be swept off your feet as Peter Pan and Wendy, in league with the Lost Boys and the fairy Tinker Bell, take on the fearsome Captain Hook.

Spanish company Le Tendre Amour in collaboration with Luxembourg’s Lux Vocalis choir, in a performance developed specifically for the Festival de Wiltz, proudly present: Don Quichotte, composed by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, with a libretto by Charles-Simon Favart. Based on the lyrics and the score of the original, the new production recreates the 18th century classic as a chamber opera, including extra dance numbers and acrobatics.

Ernst Molden, the multi-talented award-winning musician and writer from Vienna, for the first time live on stage in Luxembourg! His hit song “Ho Rugg” was selected as song of the year by the German Liederbestenliste, and the album of the same name received the German Record Critics Award and the Amadeus Austrian Music Award 2017 (category jazz/blues/world music). The music theatre play “Hafen Wien” earned him two nominations for the Nestroy Award.

A festival within the festival: one night – four shows, featuring four popular current bands, all of them passionately devoted to crossover, encompassing classical, techno and club music.: Brandt Brauer Frick Ensemble (DE), Franceso Tristano (LU), Jerome Klein with his recent project KLΞIИ. (LU) and Glass Museum (BE).

Three brothers, three ouds. Samir, Wissam and Adnan. On stage and in the studio, their instruments come together like three soloists who form one single voice. The oud, or Arabic lute, has become the voice of their souls, the beating heart of their existence with which they have become one. Always three, together. With the Trio Joubran, virtuosity does not give into demonstration. For these natives of Nazareth who come from a long line of luthiers, it is about the perpetuation of a tradition.

Melody Gardot, the intensely creative singer and songwriter returns to Luxembourg as part of her European Tour in 2018. Philadelphia’s Melody Gardot is more versatile than most. Gardot is following in the footsteps of Erykah Badu, and when you’re a Grammy-winning easy-listening artist, it’s an admirable direction. She has mastered the art of capturing mood and emotion in her music, prompting The Times to state ‘Every decade or so an artist comes along who redefines the art of the possible’.
