Quatre ciels

Recorded at the CND 29 March 2012

“The departure point of this creation is six choreographic phrases, four musical movements and, of course, its fourteen performers. The musical choices, string quartets from Debussy and Mellits, and a piece for orchestra by Reich, cross different periods of time, from the last century to the current day, a myriad of colours, rhythms, stories and landscapes to be crossed. I wanted to emphasize the composition of the movement, its repetition, its abstraction, its transformation, the development of a single vocabulary, a process that is found in repetitive music. At the same time, my desire to lead these young dancers towards a certain lyricism and the perspective that it requires to journey towards what would appear – a poetic space – was just as present. Four musical movements like four November skies, where the blue fades to grey, where the light modulates its beat… Where the same colours, just like bodies, keep coming back, but mix together, fade away, stand out, free themselves and take up their positions”.
