An ode to 300 years of St John Passion in a unique chamber version of the work with just four singers, strings, flute, vintage synthesiser and electric guitar. Meanwhile, the essences of the selected arias and choruses are visualised in an emotional language of movement, tension and release, by four acrobats from Tall Tales Company. A unique musical and visual translation. Experience the work as you haven’t before, it’s Bach at the cutting edge and at incredible heights!
Perhaps Bach’s immortal setting of Jesus’ last days is essentially… about us. Although the music and text are centuries old, they invite us to reflect on the choices we make in our own lives. How do we take responsibility, face our fears, deal with loss and dream about a future, any future?
This production was realized with the support of the Tax Shelter measure of the Belgian Federal Government through Flanders Tax Shelter.
