This performance features outstanding character actors, showcasing the fascinating life of a woman filled with contrasts. Following productions like "The Great Gatsby," "Frida Kahlo," and "Lágrimas Negras," star choreographer Enrique Gasa Valga once again brings a moving story to life through dance with his Limonada Dance Company.

A Double-Edged Sword

In Gasa Valga's latest dance piece, the extraordinary artistic journey of Romy Schneider and her inner struggles merge into a captivating performance. Her transition from a "sweet Viennese girl" and Sissi actress - which she described as both "a curse and a blessing" - to a celebrated icon of French cinema was marked by numerous ups and downs. Pushed into acting by her mother and stepfather "Daddy" for economic reasons from a young age, Romy's challenging path began. However, her encounter with Alain Delon during the filming of 'Christine' in 1958 marked the beginning of her personal and artistic emancipation, allowing her to forge a new identity.

A Danced Biography

Despite her glamour and success, Romy felt torn in her private life. She found her "true life" on screen but remained a seeker off it. This dance theater piece tells her story with great intensity - a life full of contradictions, artistic adaptability, and personal tragedy. Immerse yourself in a remarkable production that revives a legend with captivating choreography and profound respect. The musical accompaniment will once again be provided by the charismatic singer Greta Marcolongo and her fantastic band.
