“Chasm stands out as a masterpiece of dance expression – a triumph!”

Step into a world where the future of humanity teeters on the edge of extinction. Chasm is Andrew Skeels’ electrifying new creation — a science-fiction ballet that conjures a dystopian landscape, where 20 dancers transform into a breathtaking organism of fluid, interwoven bodies. Inspired by geology, evolution, and the underground communication networks of fungi, Skeels imagines a civilization in collapse, fighting to survive through ritual, unity, and transcendence.

Driven by Antoine Seychal’s cinematic score, the stage pulses with dim light, sculpted shadows, and futuristic figures that echo visions of Dune and The Matrix. Dancers blur into one another, collapsing and reforming in waves of movement that feel at once alien and deeply human. What emerges is both terrifying and sublime: an exquisite “No-Future Ballet” that seduces the senses, pierces the imagination, and leaves audiences suspended between despair and hope.

Created especially for the Bavarian State Ballet, Chasm is not just a performance — it’s an experience. Hypnotic. Unrelenting. Unforgettable.
