Freddie: The Ballet Evening that Electrifies Cottbus

For the last time, the curtain rises on March 29, 2026, in the chamber stage of the Staatstheater Cottbus for 'Freddie' – a powerful homage to Freddie Mercury. Choreographer James Sutherland shapes an intense event experience from contemporary dance, iconic Queen moments, and commissioned music by Davidson Jaconello.

Glamour Meets Big Emotions

From the first movement, a vibrant event atmosphere fills the space: sparkling accents, precise lighting, pulsating rhythms. The audience's mood swings between euphoric cheers and reverent silence as Arvo Pärt's sounds blend with Queen's sonic world.

Dance Narrative Power – Close, Direct, Touching

The ensemble bridges the gap between ecstatic stage presence and vulnerable soul. Sutherland's organization of the space, his clear event planning on the chamber stage, and the targeted audience engagement create closeness: Every glance, every step tells of longing, searching, and self-staging.

Sound Design with a Pulling Effect

Jaconello's compositions weave organically with Queen and Pärt. The sound is physically palpable, dynamically mixed – an audiovisual pull that bundles images and emotions. Note: The production uses loud music and strobe effects.
