 International Contemporary Dance Festival DanceInversion celebrates its 20th anniversary! During these years Moscow has welcomed almost 90 choreographers as well as numerous professionals from: 5 continents and the Islands of New Zealand, Ireland and Cuba, 30 countries, 78 companies. The Festival's mission has always been the discovery of new names and new styles of dance art. DanceInversion remains true to this ethos and includes the names of both professional artists and exciting newcomers. In the dance world the NDT is considered to be one of the seven wonders. This NDT performance will feature four one-act ballets by the outstanding choreographers Paul Lightfoot, Sol León, Crystal Pite and Marco Goecke. Shut Eye asks the question 'How strongly is our vision of the world distorted by our feelings?' The Statement brings us back to a cold reality where people in positions of authority, following the logic of the government, are engaged in a dialogue with their own conscience. In the ballet Woke Up Blind the dance merges with the music of Jeff Buckley, who died tragically and young, and penetrates into the essence of human emotions. Singulière Odyssée creates a wonderful but distorted world, a world of magical stillness in an alienated reality set to the music of Max Richter.
