Many will remember dancer Towa Iwase as the Chosen One in Le sacre du printemps. She is now preparing for OPUS, a rehearsal process that demands an iron-clad focus.

In 2017, choreographer Christos Papadopoulos made his international breakthrough with this production. Today, he invites our dancers to embody Bach’s Die Kunst der Fuge: subtle, precise, and in perfect synchronicity.
