Moonwalk: A Dance Evening Between Pop Icon and Stage Poetry

With Moonwalk, the Stadttheater Fürth presents a ballet on December 31, 2026, that portrays Michael Jackson not just as a pop symbol, but as a multifaceted figure between fame, vulnerability, and genius movement language. Choreographer Peter Breuer approaches the myth with that blend of narrative clarity and dance energy for which his works are known.

An Evening That Transforms Pop History Into Motion

The material is world-famous, yet the perspective is theatrically appealing: Moonwalk traces Jackson's artistic brilliance while also providing a glimpse behind the facade. The music of the King of Pop becomes the bearer of a choreographic narrative, where showy glamour, rhythm, and melancholy interweave. Breuer connects classical lines with contemporary dance language, thereby opening a space for a stage experience that seeks not to imitate but to interpret.

Peter Breuer's Signature: Biographical, Precise, Moving

Peter Breuer is among those choreographers who do not merely illustrate biographies but sharpen them dramatically. His works, including for the Europaballet, display a clear sense of character development, musical structure, and emotional depth. In Moonwalk, the focus is not just on retelling, but on how an artist myth can be translated into dance. This is precisely where the strength of this evening lies: in the tension between iconic recognizability and a new theatrical interpretation.

Stage Atmosphere Between Glamour, Shadows, and Memory

The audience can look forward to a dense theatrical atmosphere: precisely executed movements, strong visual transitions, and a musical dramaturgy that oscillates between ecstasy and resonance. When dance and sound meet, a special tension arises that makes ballet more than an aesthetic form: it becomes an emotional narrative in slow motion and acceleration simultaneously. The evening thrives on contrasts, light and dark, presence and allusion.
