Following four sold-out performances in the SWR Schwetzingen Festspiel in May and the Kleist Forum in June, Friedemann is very excited to bring his award-winning work Die Seele am Faden/Soul Threads - a timely and profound reflection on the human soul in our age of machines - to Hamburg on 14th July as an invited guest for the Hamburg Ballet Days.

There will be a post-show discussion with Friedemann, Thomas Lempertz (visual artist and co-choreographer of the work), and Florian Vogel (director of the Kleist Forum and producer of the work), moderated by dramaturg Vivien Arnold.
