La Monnaie De Munt Presents THE GOLDBERG VARIATIONS, BWV 988
Performances run December 3-31, 2020.
By: Stephi Wild Nov. 08, 2020
Following The Six Brandenburg Concertos, Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker's dialogue with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach continues in a new solo show, which she dances herself.
In the Goldberg Variations, belonging to the composer's late period, a play of variations, canons, and fugues transform a simple and quiet melody into a musical cosmos of extraordinary variety.
Together with the pianist Pavel Kolesnikov, the choreographer takes Bach's score as the blueprint for a similar exercise: finding a form of dance in constant change. A new phase in De Keersmaeker's ongoing search for her own choreographic idiom.
Performances run December 3-31, 2020.
