Foreland – Bach and Britten / soundance expanded

“It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness, of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.” (Benjamin Britten).
Foreland – Bach and Britten is the resumption of a solo dance performance by Berlin-based choreographer and dancer Nitsan Margaliot in collaboration with Amsterdam cellist Isaac Lottman. Das Werk bringt Konzert und Choreografie in einen spannenden Dialog. Foreland verbindet die beiden Meisterwerke, Johann Sebastian Bach’s 5. Cellosuite und Benjamin Britten’s Suite 1, op. 72, mit einer virtuosen tänzerischen Interpretation, die der leidenschaftlichen und kraftvollen Musik körperlichen Ausdruck und Form verleiht.
