Among the masterpieces of twentieth century art is Dance, by
Lucinda Childs. The repetitiveness of
Philip Glass’s music underlies a continuous intertwining of simple steps, light jumps, turns and minute variations with minimal changes in body movements, which are particularly complex and subtle. We are left reeling from the magnitude of time and space, all the more so as pictures from the same piece performed in 1979 and filmed by visual artist
Sol LeWitt, are projected on a screen at the front of the stage. The Ballet de l’Opéra du Rhin the Rhine Opera Ballet has long been close friends with Lucinda Childs. The audience will have the opportunity to discover Songs from before, a new piece by this avant-gardist choreographer.
