For the first time ever, B'Rock brings a dance performance!

Together with Claire Croizé they bring 'Vor deinem Thron'

Croizé: The feeling of loss is present in all my thoughts'
In the new dance performance of the praised young choreographer Claire Croizé, the theme of loss, of life and death, but also of resurrection is central. Together with Frank Agsteribbe, artistic leader for B'Rock, she selected Works of Johann Sebastian Bach, to whom the temporarity of the earthly was just as elementary.

Croizé: 'The piece draws on the principle of the accumulation of the different voices and how these are brought into contact with each other, complete each other, follow, influence, mix with each other or just contrast, so that every voice finds it's own place.'
The polyphony and the ingenious use of the counterpoint by Bach determine the form of the performance: Just like every musician plays one or several voices, light and dance also get their own voic(es). With this multiplicity of voices as a point of departure, Croizé and the musicians of B'Rock search for the relations and dialogue that are possible between the three elements on stage: dance, live music, and light.

Croizé:'I interpret movement as music and I try,as a dancer, to develop music with my body. When I would follow the tempo or the rythm of the music all the time, nothing can be created, I only illustrate (...) I try to be a counterpoint"
The programme consists of fragments from Das Musikalisches Opfer, Die Kunst der Fuge and Cantate 21 'Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis'.
