Exciting NEWS: PHYSICAL CAMERA - The Cinematic Physical Script: On May 1st, WDTanztheater presents a celebrated cinematic evening at the Orangerie Theater that explores the intersection of theater, choreography, cinema, and music. Developed by international artists, film director and choreographer Sagí Amir Gros in collaboration with cinematographer Michael Maurissens, Physical Camera proposes a shift in perspective. The camera is not an external observer, but an active participant within the choreography.
