Inspired by the music of Antony & The Johnsons and the astronomical phenomenon of the supernova – an exploding stars in space that shine for sometime - Marco Goecke created this work in 2009 for Scapino Ballet Rotterdam. Supernova is a choreography of contrasts, where life and death, light and dark, are linked by the energy of each body.
