After a year like no other, Friedemann was inspired to try his hand at choreography for the first time, and co-created “Not in my hands” with his life partner and former soloist Thomas Lempertz. Set to Mozart's"Requiem", the solo encapsulates Friedemann’s attempt to make sense of these extraordinary times as well as his confidence in the resilience of artists who will eventually triumph.

In his ongoing efforts to engage the audience until live performances resume, Friedemann is premiering the creation as a video on the Stuttgart Ballet’s YouTube channel, filmed by fellow principal dancer Roman Novitzky.
