Goldberg Variations – ternary patterns for insomnia

with Andersson Dance

“a revelation on several levels…Please, everyone, play it again. Soon.” The Herald

After surprising audiences around the world – from Shanghai Concert Hall to the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. – our collaboration with Sweden’s Andersson Dance, a playful reworking of J.S. Bach’s masterpiece, the Goldberg Variations, returns to Scotland. Fusing music and movement to profound and joyous effect, this production brings a fresh visual dimension to this revered piece of music, allowing audiences to enjoy its humour, humanity and beauty in an entirely new way. After seven years of touring this, one of our most successful and popular productions, we are truly thrilled to be bringing it back home for audiences to discover – or to enjoy all over again.

Performance lasts 80 minutes with no interval
