Staged by the FLYING STEPS and the Brazilian artist duo OSGEMEOS, "Pictures at an Exhibition" combines elements of art, music and dance performance. Tickets are available at all known advance booking offices. What would pictures sound like if they were music? What would they look like if they were brought to life by dancers? And what happens when the artists of their time inspire each other across genre boundaries and merge their art? Pictures of an Exhibition" continues the idea of mutual inspiration and the interaction of different art fields. At the centre of Modest Mussorgski's famous piano piece of 1874 is a first-person narrator who strolls through the gallery rooms. The ten images he looks at as he walks through the exhibition embody different musical languages, each influenced by different styles and countries. The FLYING STEPS put this narrative into a visual movement for the first time in over 150 years: Instead of Mussorgski's first-person narrator, dancers appear on a multidimensional stage, which can be viewed from several sides, in a choreography of elements of urban and contemporary dance.

The FLYING STEPS, one of the most successful urban dance crews in the world, who has delighted over a million viewers in the last 10 years and is always facing new challenges to create unforgettable productions, enter this unique stage atmosphere. Creative Director VARTAN BASSIL adds: "We lead the audience through the exhibition in dance and thus bring MUSSORGSKI's work to life".
