Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Alain Franco, Rosas : bist du bei mir (The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988)

A successful choreographer since the 1980s, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker (Malines, Belgium, 1960) is an artist of extraordinary expressive originality and a cult figure in the contemporary dance scene. This notebook presents the project Bist du bei mir. The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 (2020), based on Bach's composition of the same name and staged - in collaboration with pianist Alain Franco - in the spaces of the Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia (November 2024).

Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's choreographic solo created for the Collezione Maramotti advances in the awareness of this double front of Bach's music, human and divine, physical and metaphysical. And it does so with a respect and essentiality that becomes synonymous with pure beauty, stripped of ornaments and necessity. (bron: website uitgever)
