In 2023, the Ukrainian dancer and choreographer received the John Neumeier Prize for Choreography, awarded for the first time and funded by the Hapag-Lloyd Foundation, and will now, together with the
Bundesjugendballett, will now present his new choreography. Beforehand, the young company will look back on the past of their American mentor. "Sybil Dances" is a reminder of John Neumeier's first engagement (1960-1962) with Sybil Shearer's company. In this way, the future is celebrated and history honoured: it is the deep current of tradition that carries the dancers of the Bundesballett.
