Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th of September, 20:30, Kaaitheater Brussel
On invitation of the Klarafestival and Kaaitheater, Claire Croizé of Action Scénique and Baroque Orchestra B'Rock create a new dance performance. Wednesday Vor deinem Thron is premiering at the Gergiev Festival in Rotterdam. Followed by the Belgian premiere on the 11th of September at the Kaaitheater in Brussels...
In the new dance performance of the praised young choreographer Claire Croizé, the theme of loss, of life and death, but also of resurrection is central. Together with Frank Agsteribbe, artistic leader for B'Rock, she selected works of Johann Sebastian Bach, to whom the temporarity of the earthly was just as elementary.
The polyphony and the ingenious use of the counterpoint by Bach determine the form of the performance: Just like every musician plays one or several voices, light and dance also get their own voice(s). With this multiplicity of voices as a point of departure, Croizé and the musicians of B'Rock search for the relations and dialogue that are possible between the three elements on stage: dance, live music, and light.
