The Goldberg Variations belong to Bach’s late period, in which the composer pushes the boundaries
of musical themes in a play of variations, canons and fugues. A musical cosmos unfolds that reveals
itself with extraordinary variety and unparalleled complexity. Together with two pianists, Anne Teresa
De Keersmaeker continues her journey with Bach in this solo performance which she dances herself.
The musical score is the choreography’s blueprint. With one aria and thirty variations, the music
challenges the choreography to find a form capable of adaptation and flexibility while retaining an
immutable core.
A collaboration by 30CC and STUK.
