Our Choreographers for the Feature Film “School of Magical Animals”
With the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra at the Early Music Days in Herne
September/October: PAN.OPTIKUM on the Set of “School of Magical Animals”
Our choreographers Luka Putniņa and Jānis Putniņš are currently working in Berlin and at various filming locations across Germany. Together with the young actors of the successful film series “School of Magical Animals” (Die Schule der magischen Tiere), they are developing the choreography for the fifth installment.
For us, this marks an exciting extension of our artistic work: movement and choreography, usually created for our stage productions and performances in public spaces, are now finding their way onto the big screen.

Louis XIV hosted extraordinarily lavish celebrations at the French court of Versailles. Costumes, dance and courtly splendour came together to create musical spectacles of the highest order.
The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra transports audiences into the world of absolute monarchy in 17th- and 18th-century France, where music served not only as entertainment but also as a means of displaying royal elegance and power.
From festive marches and courtly masquerades to magnificent ballets and thunderous storms, the splendour of Baroque court festivities unfolds. In a visual dialogue with a contemporary dance performance, this musical world also reveals itself as a spectacle from a bygone era.
