Three urban dancers, as a choreographic collective and in collaboration with the dramaturge J. Goldschmidt and the cellists S. Hennemann and Melissa Hart, will undertake a choreographic reinterpretation of Bach’s music and mindset. They span from Bach to Britten, from tradition to the present, seeking contrast and connection between the old and the new. This unusual ensemble, with its own and contemporary interpretations of great masters, creates moving and touching images of the present.
