Aracaladanza approaches Bach as the inspiration for a scenic work that does not so much seek to choreograph his music (in multiple facets, variations and versions) as to dive into a creative universe that allows those who wish to open their eyes and tune their ears to imagine. Because imagination is the support of critical thinking and the engine of freedom, both essential to change reality.
VA DE BACH is a dream, and as such, it lacks a conventional narrative and plot structure. Its aim is to ignite the imagination of any spectator, regardless of age. It is a very free scenic construction that takes shape from rehearsals, in which the scenographic elements become the protagonists.
“Va de Bach is a perfect production for everyone, beginners and neophytes, whether children, young people or adults. It is a high-culture show that illuminates and excites spectators who come to it because of their passion for Bach or because they are lovers of choreographic art.”
Cristina Marinero | Opera World
“The ending is apotheosis: the velvety, puffy costumes of furious red seem to come to life and the scene is filled with paper, laughter and music. How can one not perceive classical music as pleasurable while contemplating scenes like this?”
