“A stroke of genius unlike any other.”

Neue Zürcher Zeitung

Created for the Stuttgart Ballet in 2014, Aftermath is an abstract reflection on resilience and the search for one’s own voice. Inspired by a song from Demis Volpi’s native Argentina, the work explores the tension between individuality and conformity, silence and expression. Created for 30 female dancers, Aftermath is set to a commissioned score by minimalist composer Michael Gordon.
