Finally, Marco Goecke will create a new piece for the young NDT 2 dancers. With his particular, frenetic movement language, Goecke is one of the world's most sought-after choreographers.

One on One by Johan Inger examines the unfolding of stages in a romantic relationship; the discovering and scanning of two individuals, their merger and the possible demise when the apparent unity is cracked. Inger chose to make the piece on Franz Schubert's Impromptus and 21st Sonata. These scores are considered his last great piano compositions. One on One earned Inger the prestigious 2016 Benois de la Danse award.

Cacti, by self-proclaimed 'rhythm freak' Alexander Ekman challenges the audience in a humorous way to reflect on modern dance as a high art form. In this work the choreographer used classical music for the first time; a new arrangement of Schubert's Der Tod und das Mädchen, in which the dancers form the instruments of the orchestra.
