Choreographer: Edward Clug
Stabat Mater
"The work creates an atmosphere that is rarely seen and experienced. Author celebrates life and addresses all its dimensions, which fit into each other without imposing a particular topic. His outlook is ironic, but always serious and dedicated to life’s vibrant and tiny magical tricks. Thank you, Edward Clug!"

Rite of Spring
"Edward Clug, director of the Maribor Ballet, has achieved the near impossible: a new and meaningful interpretation of Stravinsky's Le Sacre du printemps. Searching for ways to reinvent the work, he made a serendipitous decision to add the element of water. Far from a gimmick, it enhances the work in surprisingly beautiful ways and brings a new dimension to the choreography… The compulsive drive of the exhausted, wet bodies is a spectacle both terrible and compelling.”
