[Biennale de la danse 2021] Yuval Pick – "Vocabulary of Need" | Interview
Yuval Pick, who heads the National Choreography Centre of Rillieux-laPape, has long approached his output as an exploration of the ties between dance and music. Vocabulary of need deepens this continuum, drawing on Johann Sebastian Bach’s Partita No.2 in D minor (BWV 1004) for solo violin.
Centred on one of Bach’s most inspired scores, this new choreographic piece for four male and four female dancers creates a link between the violin strings and the dancers’ bodies. Through their movements, they create vibrations in the space, with strokes of energy and élan that build a sense of urgency. The body language is complex and precise, to be read like an intimate calligraphy. A “fleeting embrace, between dance and music”, where eight beings seek and find each other, in infinite counterpoints.
