ocean.\u201d<\/em><\/h4>\n<h4>This quote comes from the mesostic poem Many Happy Returns by the composer John Cage, written in the late 1970s. Cage dedicated it to his friend and colleague Lou Harrison and wrote about his music: \u201cListening to it, we ourselves would become an ocean.\u201d This idea fascinated John Luther Adams, Harrison\u2019s student, so deeply that he chose it as the title for one of his most significant orchestral works: Become Ocean, completed in 2013. The composition was commissioned by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Ludovic Morlot and is inspired by the vastness and dynamics of the sea. Its wave-like, flowing structures reflect both the gentle calm and the unstoppable force of nature.<\/h4>\n<h4>\n<strong>John Luther Adams<\/strong> was born in Mississippi in 1953. Nature shaped him from an early age, and his move to Alaska in the 1970s strengthened this connection. The landscape of the Pacific Northwest\u2014its light, vastness, and climate\u2014is reflected in Adams\u2019s musical language. This language is characterized by a combination of minimal music, subtle textures, slow-moving harmonies, and spatial sound design. Adams draws his strongest influences from the American postwar avant-garde, including composers such as John Cage and Morton Feldman. Like them, he is particularly interested in fluidity\u2014the merging of sound, space, and environment. Become Ocean creates an immersive experience that allows the audience to sink into the vastness of the sea. For this composition, Adams received the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Music as well as a Grammy Award in the composition category.<br \/>\nBut Adams\u2019s music is more than an aesthetic experience. It addresses the deeper connection between humanity and nature. In the notes to the score of Become Ocean, Adams writes: \u201cLife on this earth emerged from the sea. As the polar ice melts and sea levels rise, we humans face the prospect that we may literally become ocean again.\u201d The epoch-making piece of music can therefore be read as a meditation on the climate crisis\u2014on depth, turbulence, stillness, and ultimate calm.<\/h4>\n<h4>\nFrom this atmospherically dense soundscape, the choreographic duo <strong>LEE\\VAKULYA<\/strong> develop a new creation of the same name for the Hessisches Staatsballett. The two choreographers are drawn to the graceful balance of nature, which gives life and, with its immense power, can also take it away again. Their choreography translates Adams\u2019s musical structure into a comprehensive composition of body, technology, and space.<\/h4>\n<h4>\nA prologue by sound designer <strong>Fanny Thollot<\/strong> first prepares the audience sensually for the upcoming sonic journey. Then the music unfolds: wave-like movements, dramatic climaxes, quiet passages\u2014and LEE\\VAKULYA transfer all of this onto the bodies of the twelve dancers. The choreography follows the principle of recurrence: movements emerge, dissolve, and reappear in altered form. Gentle, flowing sequences contrast with powerful, tension-filled moments. Solos merge with group formations, so that the dancers shift between individuality and collectivity\u2014a reflection of the dynamics of proximity, dependency, and change. The bodies appear like living components of the stage space, which itself is set in motion. In this way, an overall composition emerges in which dance, music, and space merge into one.<\/h4>\n<h4>\nThe stage design by <strong>Yoko Seyama<\/strong> is flexible and dynamic: instead of fixed scenery, the Japanese artist creates a large, mobile installation made of lightweight materials that generates moments of interaction with the dancers. It rises slowly, evoking currents, waves, and the ocean\u2019s continual motion. The lighting design by Taiwanese artist Joanne Shyue reinforces this effect: moving reflections of light recall sunlight beneath the water. The stage appears fluid and open; the boundaries between space, dancers, and audience dissolve. The orchestral musicians are placed visibly onstage, so that acoustic and physical layers merge into a unity through the live performance.<\/h4>\n<h4>\nThe costumes by Berlin-based Taiwanese designer <strong>Damur Huang<\/strong> convey the qualities of water in form, structure, and material. Each costume is unique, reflecting the individual characteristics of the dancers, supporting the circular and flowing movements, and intensifying the physical experience of the choreography.<br \/>\nIn Become Ocean, LEE\\VAKULYA show that dance does not merely illustrate music, but creates an independent dimension of rhythm, space, and volume. The stage becomes an organic, breathing body in constant motion. Bodies, light, stage, and sound merge into a whole\u2014a poetic allegory of nature, its beauty, its violence, and the unstoppable circularity of life. Like the ocean itself, the work takes the audience on a journey between harmony and dissonance, between inner stillness and powerful dynamics\u2014a sensory immersion in sound, movement, and space.<\/h4>\n<h4>\nby Lucas Herrmann<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-panel\" data-panel-id=\"biographies\">\n\t<div class=\"accordion-headline\">\n\t\t<h4>Biographies <\/h4>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"accordion-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"accordion-content-inner\">\n\n\n<div class=\"ce ce-twocol    indent-1   \">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col col-custom-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hessisches-staatsballett.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/leevakulya.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"550\" \/><\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col col-custom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>LEE\\VAKULYA<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>LEE\\VAKULYA <\/strong>are the Taiwanese dancer and choreographer Chen-Wei Lee and the Hungarian dancer and choreographer Zolt\u00e1n Vakulya.

With an M.F.A. in Lighting Design from the Taipei National University of the Arts, she positions light not only as a technical craft but as an artistic language with the capacity to reframe perception and provoke thought.\u200bHer practice extends beyond conventional design: Joanne has appeared on stage herself, merging improvisational dance with live lighting to test the boundaries between performer and designer, presence and illumination. This allows her to approach light as an active agent rather than a background element.\u200bFor Joanne, light is never neutral. It is a force that shapes spaces, alters behaviours, and reveals or conceals layers of reality. She treats each project as an experiment in how light interacts with human experience, refusing to reduce it to decoration or function alone. Her ongoing pursuit is to discover how light might not only transform environments but also invite audiences to reconsider their own relationship with society and with one another.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"ce ce-twocol  pt-medium  indent-1   \">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col col-custom-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure id=\"attachment_12076\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12076\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12076 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hessisches-staatsballett.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Damur-395x600.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"395\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hessisches-staatsballett.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Damur-395x600.png 395w, https:\/\/www.hessisches-staatsballett.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Damur-675x1024.png 675w, https:\/\/www.hessisches-staatsballett.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Damur-768x1165.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hessisches-staatsballett.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Damur.png 874w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12076\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(c) Damur<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col col-custom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>Damur Huang<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Raised in Taipei, Taiwan, Huang discovered his passion for fashion at an early age\u2014an influence that explains the strong presence of Asian pop culture in his designs.

When we think of musicality in dance, it is often a landscape. Become Ocean is not a landscape that immediately reveals itself. The intuitive response would be to float, to rise and fall. For us, however, it primarily conveys a sense of pulsation directly connected to movement \u2014 bodies individually and as one large entity, dissolving into small particles or breathing together like a powerful lung. The audible experience, combined with our visual imagination, strongly shapes the choreography: how we use space, how each dancer employs their body. We always tell them: open and close. The music carries such openness, yet as soon as an instrument steps forward, you automatically zoom in.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do dance and music relate to one another?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4>We work with a central chord of chaos and order. In the prologue by Fanny Thollot, we establish an order to \u201ccalm\u201d the audience and the dance \u2014 as preparation for the orchestral work. Become Ocean is like a great feast, but once order is established, we have material to break it apart again. The chaos also arises because we hear it in the music. One might think there is no order, yet the composition has a clear structure: every seven minutes there are upward and downward movements. After the halfway point, everything reverses. We do not follow this pattern exactly, but we draw inspiration from it. The choreography engages with the idea of unity while continually disrupting it. There are passages in which we merge harmoniously with the music \u2014 the dance surfing on a wave. At the same time, we deliberately seek moments when the bodies dive into the music: deeply intimate solos or the group body reflecting the monumental scale of the acoustic experience.<\/h4>\n<h3><strong>What experience does the space provide for the overall composition?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yoko Seyama\u2019s spatial design becomes part of the overall movement. Interior and exterior perspectives merge. At the same time, we find ourselves in the midst of the action. Sound and movement are already closely connected simply because the orchestra is on stage. Above everything, the object shines. We describe the overall image as a wandering cloud \u2014 visible yet fleeting. From apparent chaos, ordered patterns emerge. We play with the idea of coming and going, working with proximity and distance, like gazing at the sky or the ocean: the vastness remains, but focus changes perception. Joanne Shyue\u2019s lighting design becomes a mediating element. It creates its own layer of movement, opens and closes spaces, generates depth, and directs the gaze. In this way, an interplay of sound, body, and movement unfolds, producing contemplative images \u2014 open enough to be filled with the audience\u2019s own associations.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-panel\" data-panel-id=\"behind-the-scenes\">\n\t<div
