Polish National Ballet: Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona

O wydarzeniu

The Polish National Ballet will perform Bach Dances this season at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona's famous Opera House.

One composer, four works, and four choreographers: Bach Dances looks at four ways of converting into movement the works of a musician who has fascinated the world of dance more than virtually any other. The solutions range from the outburst of energy proposed by Emil Wesołowski for the Harpsichord concerto in D minor, to the Baroque interplay of light and shadow sketched by Krzysztof Pastor for the Goldberg Variations and the Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major. Ed Wubbe chooses a piece from the Saint John Passion to express the vulnerability of human beings, while George Balanchine finds inspiration in the Double Violin Concerto in D minor for his idea of pure dance. This show would be a veritable tour de force of virtuosity and versatility for any dance troupe.
