Here, all space figures and phrases of movement merge with the music to create an experience that is both extremely simply and improbably rich. Beautiful.” This was dance critic Pieter T’Jonck’s verdict on ‘Mitten wir im Leben sind/ Bach6Cellosuiten’. In this dance performance, two giants of dance and chamber music come together. It is no coincidence that both have been highly esteemed guests at deSingel for many years. The story of deSingel and choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker goes back to 1984. Jean-Guihen Queyras has been one of our favourite cellists since 2001. In this choreography for three male and two female dancers, including Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker herself, music and dance search separately for the essence of Bach’s Cello Suites, and their mutual interplay is revealed.

Jury
Mitten wir im Leben sind is an ode, no, a plea for quietude and deceleration in an age driven by frenzied impulses. It makes this Rosas creation magnificent, timeless art.
