Mångfaldigt prisbelönade och ständigt aktuelle Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui skapar "Noetic" för GöteborgsOperans Danskompani tillsammans med ett framstående team bestående av modeskapare, en skulptör och en kompositör. Här utforskas människans instinktiva behov av att i varje detalj strukturera sin tillvaro, och hennes längtan efter att göra sig fri från reglerna och upptäcka vad som finns bortom dem. Med ömsom mekaniska, ömsom flödande, klassiska rörelser bygger, förändrar och river dansarna verkligheten.

Multiple award winning and always topical Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui creates Noetic, along with a distinguished team comprising a fashion designer, a sculptor and a composer. The creation explores man's instinctive need to structure every detail of our existence, and our longing to break free of the rules and discover what lies beyond them. With at times mechanical, at times flowing, classical movements, the dancers construct, change and deconstruct reality.

Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui's roots are in the cultures of both Morocco and Central Europe. His artistic identity has been influenced by many years of involvement in the Belgian dance company Les Ballets C de la B, whose work belongs among the most exciting things to have happened within dance in recent decades. Cherkaoui is known for bringing together art forms, cultures and traditions. His dance company, Eastman, has been appointed one of three European cultural ambassadors in 2013. The harmonic and emotional music in Noetic is composed by Szymon Brzóska for The Göteborg Opera Orchestra.
