Compañia Nacional de Danza BACH: MULTIPLICITY, Forms of Silence and Emptiness
8:00 PM on Tuesday May. 11th, 2010
NAC, 53 Elgin Street

This exuberantly beautiful two-part work by Artistic Director Nacho Duato is inspired by genius: the music of Johan Sebastian Bach. Set to a glorious musical collage, Duato’s movement is sensual, witty, and imaginative – its raw vitality brought to sublime life by 20 impeccable dancers. The stunning stage pictures unite dramatic lighting with continuously changing costumes – from frock coats and Baroque ballgowns to minimalist leotards. Part II is mystical, introspective, and deeply spiritual, reflecting both artists’ fascination with humanity, transience, and mortality.
