Grey Area: Ballet evening between departure, suspended state, and great stage poetry

With Grey Area, the Deutsche Oper am Rhein presents a three-part ballet evening at the 22.09.2026 in the Theater Duisburg, dedicated entirely to the moment in between: the uncertain, the transition, the subtle tipping of movement and feeling. The program includes works by Bridget Breiner, David Dawson, and Lesley Telford – an evening for everyone aged 12 and over, lasting about 2¼ hours with two breaks.

An evening full of tension, space, and dance energy

The artistic signature of this program relies on strong contrasts: flowing, expansive movements meet finely drawn nuances, physical presence encounters fragile moments of uncertainty. David Dawson's The Grey Area is considered an award-winning classic that explores this very suspended state between end and beginning. Bridget Breiner's new creation Shards focuses on the unfinished, on traces that resonate. Lesley Telford's Threshold of a Fall complements the evening with a choreographic perspective on balance, closeness, and letting go.
