Compañía Nacional de Danza – Bach: Multiplicity / Forms of Silence and Emptiness April 16, 2010

The superb dancers of Spain’s Compañía Nacional de Danza perform a deeply felt homage to Johann Sebastian Bach with Multiplicity — a fluid, shifting collage of music, costumes and settings exploring his life — and Forms of Silence and Emptiness., a mystical reflection on death, so present in Bach’s masterpiece The Art of Fugue.

Synthesizing classical and modern dance with a distinctly Spanish flair and passion, choreographer Nacho Duato creates dramatically charged works of remarkable beauty and is hailed internationally as a major innovator in contemporary ballet.

"Breathtaking sweep, vibrant musicality and vivid Spanish soul."
– The Boston Globe
