TV1 France made a documentary about the work of my choreographer Evelyne-Krüger Maitrel and me. We have now created several films and performances together. As a writer and director, I am grateful for the collaboration.
TV1 France reports on our work on the film and live performance of Stravinsky's “Sacre du Printemps” and our award-winning film “Dancing with Monsters.” I worked on this as writer and director with Evelyne Krüger-Maitrel as choreographer. We are staging “Sacre du Printemps” for the Rhineland-Palatinate State Philharmonic Orchestra (premiere in 2022). We are working with our lead actress, dancer Katherina Geyer, and a team of around 40 other filmmakers, dancers, and actors. “Dance with Monsters” has been screened at numerous film festivals in Europe, the USA, the Middle East, Russia, and Asia, and won the award for “Best Screenplay” at the Mostra Cinema Taranto Film Festival, among others. We also collaborated on films for SWR. The TV1 documentary also highlights other stages in the life of Evelyne Krüger-Maitrel—her time as a dancer and dance teacher.
