Passages mark transitions from one place to the next. They can be entered from two opposite sides and can take on different meanings. In the three-part ballet evening Passages, David Dawson, Marco Goecke and Alexei Ratmansky create works in which very different facets of the transitional can be seen.

In Affairs of the Heart, David Dawson describes an emotional journey in the course of which manifold shades of human existence emerge. Dawson's new creation at the Bayerisches Staatsballett is set to the concerto of the same name for violin and strings music by Marjan Mozetich.

Transitory moments are also thematised in Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, especially in the musical "promenades" evoked by the composition. In 2014, Alexei Ratmansky created a choreography that is sensitively interwoven with the character of the musical numbers, sometimes solemnly brilliant, sometimes heavily melancholic and then again cheerful, airy and playful. The choreographic sequence as well as the stage and costumes are inspired by a colour study by Wassily Kandinsky. This study from 1913 belongs to the collection of the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich. Ratmansky´s Pictures at an Exhibition represents an artistic response to the work of the famous painter.

In his new creation Sweet Bones´Melody for the Bayerisches Staatsballett, Marco Goecke accentuates different stages within a developmental process and shapes the connections in between. The composer Unsuk Chin arranges her orchestral work Mannequin from 2015 especially for the Bayerisches Staatsorchester.
