Carmina Burana

Linz’s dance director has translated Carl Orff’s gigantic musical kaleidoscope portraying the foibles of mankind’s existence and demise, the vicissitudes of fate and the transience of fortune into a compelling presentation of contemporary dance theater. Her performers are people of today, whose daily experiences vacillate between complex family constellations and casting shows, between joy and sorrow, greed and desire. In a multidimensional cosmos of sound, light, dance, and design Mei Hong Lin lets her dancers turn the wheel of fate and unleashes a sensuous spectacle reflecting the drama of humans and their struggle for survival between fear and hope.
