A stimulating new experience at OBV ballet to Bach

How can watching result in a different way of listening? That is the question behind OPUS, the second choreography by Christos Papadopoulos. The starting point is Die Kunst der Fuge by J.S. Bach, which is taken apart and reduced to its most elementary building blocks. With a microscopically precise movement language and the focus on individual sounds and melodic lines, dancers and musicians once again put together the complex puzzle of Bach's work. This growth process is both systematic and organic, and allows us to look in a stimulating and surprising way at how music and movement are made synchronous. Especially for the dancers of Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, the choreographer is creating a new version of his ensemble piece, thus translating the concept 'opus' – according to the definition 'a superior and complex work from classical music, realised according to ancient rules and ideals' – in an idiosyncratic way to today.

With the support of the Tax Shelter measure of the Belgian Federal Government.
