Goldberg Variations: Ternary patterns for insomnia is our a playful reworking of J.S. Bach’s masterpiece, in collaboration with Sweden’s Andersson Dance. 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.
From Shanghai Concert Hall to the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. Goldberg Variations has surprised audience around the world.
A revelation on several levels…
Please, everyone, play it again. Soon.
It would be pointless if the playing were in any way compromised by such hyperactivity. But the string arrangement, based on Dmitry Sitkovetsky’s trio version of 1985, has a sonority and texture to which the choreography provides astute, visual commentary.
Goldberg Variations creates a touching sense of shared endeavour, of care for this music and the ideas it prompts.
