About ...

... Goldberg-Variations by TanzLuzern.
Choreography by Alba Castillo, with music by Johann Sebastian Bach

How artistically inspiring can it be to work in a sustainable way? This production proves: very much so! The multifaceted stage design consisting of many mirrors, originally created for last season’s drama production «The Picture of Dorian Gray» is being brought back to life in a completely different and re-worked form. For the costumes, too, the theatre's collection offered plenty of inspiration to revamp items and include them in an altered cut; in addition, the fabrics used were dyed with natural colours. This approach has been fittingly paired with Bach's famous composition of the «Goldberg Variations» - again in an adapted score, namely in the version for orchestra. These many ideas have now resulted in a varied evening for all the senses, with baroque music, dance, reflective stage elements, costumes of all kinds and sparkling lights that will invite you to marvel.
