Mitten wir im Leben sind / Bach6Cellosuiten
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker
Jean-Guihen Queyras

In 2023, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting La Bâtie - Festival de Genève for the presentation of Mitten wir im Leben sind / Bach6Cellosuiten by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker proves opus after opus, her profound knowledge of Jean-Sébastien Bach’s musical composition. Through Mitten wir im Leben sind/Bach6Cellosuiten, the choreographer continues her quest for a score that can capture the very essence of the composer’s language. Along with four dancers who accompany her on the stage of la Comédie de Genève, she invites the internationally acclaimed cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras to bring the musical score to life. The score is summoned in all its dimensions and is in turn enlightened, challenged or put into perspective by the choreography. This fascinating embrace between dance and music brings out the individual character of the six Suites as much as the cohesion of their overall project.
