and he believes the west should be doing more. it's not a support ukraine, but good cracks in the western alliance did a long term support for ukraine conflict zone. in 60 minutes on d. w. you said, if you ever have to cover up a murder, the best way is to make it look like an accident. raring to read. you've never read a book like this. literature list under german must reads with diversity for me. is it the heart of what content for dances? ah

ah, make me feel like i want to put theater on fire thing . with it's june 20 2130 degrees in the shade. i've come to meet someone he was always in motion. internationally acclaimed, choreographer. bull fashion trash done. he's currently working at the theater house . stuttgart in germany,

as artist in residence with gutierrez dance company. i catch him on a quick break between rehearsals as an artist, he is difficult to been down. i want to know more about his process. how does he begin? what are his 1st steps in creating a choreography starting a dance business like sitting on the street with what is a globally uncomfortable? yeah, you have to find m. yeah. and starting a dance phase is complicated and celtic and i would normally try to start with what's happening now in my life. whatever comes up to my head, anything, anything, it's a bit like it starts like therapy and i see what keeps me busy. and, and i kind of do the same with the world around me with a dancer, as i try to feel what's managing the room and what bothers us or interest.

i'm a choreographer. so i am the chef in the kitchen. i lead the sous chef and you know, we get the material in the, the tomato, no the only and, and he totally great when it a good product. we always say for a good meal, you need a good product. but i appreciate the time. i'm kind of like leading the, the kitchen, but for this thing to happen for don't supposed to happen. you need great productivity. great. downstairs, you need to great kitchen unit, great equipment, and i recognize i can't just do it on my own chest as well. also towards the world winning major rewards. he's a star among contemporary choreography. as his piece is a name for being wearing a pedestal of emotion brimming with energy. i will have a fantasy about to watch the energy of the music or the atmosphere of,

of the music. you have a strong feeling of it. and once you start writing it down or telling it to someone it's, it's disappearing. it's up and the same, i will have the feeling of the music or the atmosphere of it, and i will start recording the music. and then the work starts. and i will experiment and experiment experiment until the, until i find something that is like the, the heart of the thing. it's an incredibly subjective experience. dance and it's every moment to watch it is different. i can fall in love with something. and then really me sit and try to get the dancers to get there again. and maybe they never will because i can't feel it. power percussion action checks that it took them lessons at an early age, studied music earns played for a long time in a rock band to this day. his productions are driven by strong rhythms. when suddenly everything is collapsing and

a lot of times i think this is when the groove is coming in, when the rhythm is where i just go like, let's just rides this wave and not think too much. and, you know, part of the work in the ambition of the work is to take people on a journey where they lose their faults, they lose their minds. of course, we tell the audience kind of where we are, we, the audience get a sense of the, the atmosphere, the place or the, the emotions that we are kind of dealing with them. i hope is that it becomes a poetic experience. i disappear into it like a dream. one of his most successful pieces is it features typical shesta moments motif cease developed and uses again and again. as the north jeremy likes, the law, the cloud and the flower cloud. so then we're really heavy on. it's monmouth, you can really get into a concert. i'm for sets. yeah. she really talks about being smoky.

like having the idea. yeah. now you are a smoke or you are a balloon or it's a lot to be the much a nation. so all the time we, we constantly, much in things is not your finger needs to be here or your leg needs to be. there is sola, the much nation. the movement is quite, do see if that word makes sense. like there's a lot of texture and strong and viscosity as if for dancing through honey i and it kind of morse through the bodies of the body kind of is constantly changing and morphing and going out. and it's a, it's a way to find space in the body that maybe we haven't found before. in stuttgart, whole session chesta is working with the renowned gaurtier dance company. he is

known and respected i courtiers, company, for a long time. it's an honor to be guess, choreographer here. so when i re came with the idea of more like just acknowledging the relationship close, we have one ready m, which is a very fruitful one, you know, and i love the company. i love the spirit of the company, and there is a sense of fair working really hard, you know, kind of for a lot of investments from the dancers, from everybody in the same time the atmosphere is very light. it's very friendly. it's very casual in the casualness, so for a company in athens for you can find something quite human actually, and this is what interests me about dance. so i don't like when it's to like her, you know that it has all the facade and the glamour. and now that interested in that a standard yourself. i wanted to look through

ho fashion. shesta has already had work staged in stuttgart. he's been math at 3 years as artist in residence. his 1st production with a goatee dance company is a. ready reputation officer, one lake. by the time rehearsals are over valley, anything will remain of the classic. the world famous ballet is given the typical shape, the treatment. the idea for the adaptation came from the dance company director who wanted the original ballet to spock something entirely unique. but when every care spoke about it in the beginning i was a bit like law. busy sworn leg, but exactly, that is what's interesting for me, the conflict, the, me, the story, the, the culture around the, to the culture around what, you know, ballets and beauties. and that just makes me feel like i want to break everything. you know, it makes me feel like i want to put the theater on fire. contemporary

donors as an act that is away the old to make way for the new radicalism is part of who hell fish. chester is deeply in tune with a tight geist he permits different ideas of beauty. diversity for me, is it the heart of what contemporary dances? the world of bella comes from a very particular culture, from a culture of high society, a royal court and song. so it, it carries a very racist attitude at hearts, you know, and we are descendants of classical bother we came from there. we're like the ugly sister. the point of contemporary dance is that it diversify the perspective of how we look at things. and it is essential for contemporary dance to be diverse and it is what makes it interesting and it is what makes it to reach and truthful and honest and revealing. we want to feel and believe that content for dance is

a very open the truth. these contemporary dance is still sort of owned by the middle class, you know, and it's owned by very why i told dns in order to open the doors and to you know, to, to make content pretense available for everybody. not only as an art form to watch, but to participate. a lot has to be done. the doors have to be swine in a wide open. since 2002 chairs the has lived in london and has frequently sold a house, major of them used their but he also takes his work to the city smallest ages and works with up and coming down says he wants to turn conventions on their head to open doors and do away with elite ism and exclusion for him. that's true freedom. ah

ah. one among the dances in stuttgart r international performance. they admire his clear vision, his calmness and accuracy. checks that doesn't think much of strict drills all the perfectionism of classical ballet. it's very clear of what he wants and the he's not stricken away. no, you did wrong or no. this is not nice, but he finds a way to guide thus into these. but the same time he, he has the patients that we get that in the body. something i find with her precious kind of a light heartedness in the studio. and that allows us all to explore and

to try different things without judging ourselves too much on while at the same time, having very serious physicality. so there's a lot of challenge. also, advice. gantski knows exactly what he wants from us, but he also gives us the freedom to find it ourselves. so, but for fin with your live, you how pretty, how, and then dog. despite the relaxed atmosphere at rehearsals, nothing escaped his gaze. ah, chased as p st. often reflect his own background in modern israeli dance is by him. but i've always been passionate about the israeli style of dance. who fishes from israel, but lives in london is movement style and the music. he uses feature

a lot of heavy and loud beats. heavy bass that goes right to your stomach bow. you sit there and think, wow, often. so because it's fast paced and energetically funds 20 minutes of your for you, with the style could fit in anywhere good or bad personnel chest. i was born in jerusalem in 1975. he learned piano with a child and later studied ballet and modern dance. at the age of 18, he moved to tel aviv, where he was drafted into military service for 30 long months. it was a formative and borderline traumatic time for him. i certainly tried to forget my military service. it was a very unpleasant experience just just as an individual and, and, you know, growing up in a country that in attempting really badly, but attempting to be a democracy. and then you go into the army, which is a must. and so they're very different rules that they, it's like a universe inside

a universe, and that was really difficult mentally for me to, to accept even before finishing his military service, kinda had already become a member of the renowned rapp shave our dance company, is teaching it was oh, had naveen, a legend of contemporary dance and the fellow israeli, the association had a big impact on shasta. it's very strong, you know, in my identity or in my, i mean it's my history and you know, our history shapes us, you know, and, and my growing up in israel and the college traumas this sort of like overly politically obsessed environment that israelis is certainly a kind of marked me and working with ohio than working with my chair for, which is obviously such a stronger language such as a stronger choreographer. so it's,

it's my family martin is rainy, dance with its powerful syntax. if lutheran has shaped companies world wide. how fading pieces sweep audience is away and also reflect a society in which they were created. i think there is a level of her directness that's what comes to mind that can have a positive size and pretty, pretty difficult sized top sites. a tough love and toughness. ruth? so yeah, that directness i think is, is, so we kind of the strength of the ease readily in dance. you get the truth in the face. dance often becomes political if the whole fashion change stack his pieces are also

provocative. that full of emotion, of passion for yeah. and also aggression. just like in town. clowns. ha. clowns is a it started like an experiment. and it's a very simple show where the performers are obviously there to entertain the crowd. and they use whatever means available to them to entertain. the crowd is easily dancing and tap dancing, fake tap, dancing, and theatrical killings. so it starts with some killings that are kind of like

amusing, but it never stops. the theatrical killings become more and more choreographed and more and more, you know, kind of mass, mass killings that are crow graphically happening. so i think that the work is very starts entertaining and with a smile and can become quite satisfyingly. i think, disturbing news. crisis conflict, whoa, whoa, fetched as work reacts to political events, to the mood of the time. of the united states. 201620. 17. for example. saw terrorist attacks carried out my islamic militants around the world. chester responded with the peace grand finale.

grunting only a war and that kind of responded to the energy, the apocalyptic energy in our world. there was a feeling that everything is collapsing, everything is coming to an end. it's like all the structures that we know. everything that we trust is like falling apart of the world. from being the solid place that we can trust became. we don't know what we can trust in death is everywhere. looking at everything collapsing and how does it feel? how does, for, from the inside what, what's the experience of people inside this is 8th case. in the contrast could hardly be greater between the calm,

polite atmosphere of rehearsals and the harsh controlled chaos of shakes his work on stage. but he also sees the rehearsal studio as a place to create genuine physical experiences. something that plays an important role in his work is the darkened stage dancers whose theme in a state of its lithium rapture, as if hypnotized. ah, the darkness gives us a space like a surreal space for games, like a dream worlds. so the darkness helps focus the elements in our focused energy. you know, we start getting into some sort of a trance. think

we speak about the works that have the darkness. that's the power for me. sometimes you can say there is a power in revealing the room. there is a power in saying, we are here now experiencing this and like in our 1000 people watching a few people bringing the spirit up and you say, this is where we are now. like having these 2 sides of the rainbow of the arch is what makes you feel all their world that exist between so that you know, the really chaotic and peasy quick, you know, i love it when it gets complicated. repetitive to and then you have the kind of the silence and the moments that give you very little. i love it or positions i just, i love kind of arguing with myself again and again. whole fresh, shasta seeks out animalistic movements in his dances. o'kelly's, if the primal we are an animal in my head and we're just is somehow

have the ability to speak, that's kind of amazing. and the ability to plan, i enjoy exploring the body and the movement of the body to, to the complexity of it. so when you explore the complexity and the full ability of your current in your, in discover animalistic side, full shasta, the animalistic representative ranked and continuous energy, pure physicality, unrestrained power. the, there is an openness. there is there. i don't know how to explain it. there is like the, the breath of oxygen sort of, that is very inspiring. are almost like translucent,

transparent energy after just 4 weeks of for her. so i meet whole fish down again on the day of the dress for her. so i'm back at the t onto house stuttgart. home of the go to a dance company. the mood is highly focused, but relaxed, at last shakes does re interpretation of swan lake is coming to the stage. he's renamed the piece swanner cake. it's less about the profound and more about the pleasure of nonsense. he composed the music himself. he does, for most of his choreography, you know, okay, he's having a last consultation with the company's director and i go to head you're hearing. there are still a few details to be ironed out like how will the curtain, colby done, and what for suitable soundtrack, like confetti canon or whether they're feathers from the ceiling

fans and the tar and feather over it and then and then down. ah, yeah. that it's sort of like surprising the audience. yeah. so basically, yeah, a good like how it starts and this one lake is an unrecognizable version of tchaikovsky massey. there's no white swan to be seen. the dances are in colorful casual gear. instead of fairytale bless this palm ah, instead of themes, their purity and beauty, a crazy true fellow, the stage instead of melodrama, best light hearted chaos. it's more like a wild party. lasting late into the night. told the dances many times it feels like

it. it's falling down the steps and it goes another layer and another layer. there is no rules in a way to the piece it's, it's kind of exists in a bit of a cabaret like worlds, you know. but, but that allows for everything to happen and, and maybe it's that sense of freedom that it, it just wants to, it just wants to explode and door to twan since may be a bit childish. ah, swan can't maybe not a whole fish than masterpiece that will be talked about forever. but definitely something that leaves you wanting more and the performance is certainly demanding for the dances. as exhaustion

relief when it's over. for the choreographer himself, it's a chance for critical reflection. my feeling is there what can be fixed and what can i make better them? so yeah, good moments and back home and you know, i can see the things worried for sales itself and where it really works. nice. 2 places where maybe we can make it better. and i'm not just sitting in enjoying in c . it was very intense, but it's funny because very intense workin sometimes took out is very quiet. but there is a sweet memory with this which memorial annoyances. it's. it was a healthy working hard for me, it's very important that the atmosphere is creative and open and playful. and yeah, this is how i want to spend my life. oh, fresh as productions are full of emotional and physical power. like the rest of his life. thereabout,

motion and intensity. one last question for the choreographer. which part of the body does he see as most underappreciated? the bottom of the c. we'll have to think about that a little bit. thank you very much. thank you. thank you. with oh, ah, with

who conflict zone with parish energy? russia claims it has captured the new hans region in ukraine's east ukraine. losing this war. doug walker is a former us ambassador to me,

and he believes the worst should be doing more to support ukraine. but good crowds in the western alliance did a long term support for ukraine conflict zone in 30 minutes on d w. you ah, go mike. how can this passionate hatred of a people be explained? oh, where does it come from? oh, history of antisemitism. part 2 of our in depth documentary series, the creeping a dehumanization of jurors progressed from the 12th century onward. rejection the history of anti semitism. in 60 minutes on d, w. o. did in right wing extremists, i suggested again, well maybe

a couple of late in burned in south africa. people with disabilities more likely to leave the jobs independent, make black lives matter. shine a spotlight on racially motivated police violence, same sex marriage is being legalized in more and more countries, discrimination and inequality are part of everyday life. for many, we ask why? because life is diversity. to make up your own mind. d. w. made for minds. a man with the memories of a woman ally from syria is born in a female body. forced into marriage, break to his escape, will be the journey of his life. far from home, ali can finally become the person he's always wanted to be. i won't be spared badly
