Overview

• On June 6 in Hannover, Goecke premiered 'The Big Crying' to bid farewell to the Staatsoper where he once served as Ballettdirektor.
• His February 2023 attack on critic Wiebke Hüster with dog feces led to his contract being terminated and sparked international outcry.
• Following his public remorse, theaters reinstated his works and audiences have since welcomed him back, including a standing ovation in Cologne.
• Goecke’s personal transformation has included a 26-kilo weight loss and renewed agility that he credits for his staged resurgence.
• He will join Theater Basel this summer as Ballettchef, marking the next phase of his career.
