Renowned for his imaginative reworkings of classical themes, Belgian choreographer Jeroen Verbruggen presents his vibrant and personal take on the myth of Amor and Psyche, together with TANZ LINZ.

At the heart of the work is Psyche’s journey toward self-love – as the foundation for loving another. The question posed by the title, “Amor & Psyche?”, finds its answer in a powerful finale that explores the endless emotional cycle of desire, pain, longing, and joy as a path toward true connection and fulfillment.

With delicate, detail-rich choreography, Verbruggen brings humor, sensuality, and psychological depth to the stage. The Bruckner Orchester Linz accompanies the performance live, offering a rich soundscape that ranges from Fauré and Ives to contemporary composers and even a Greek pop ballad – creating a musical framework as multifaceted as the emotions on stage.
