Ballet National de Marseille: Passione
The dancers engage with the music in this beautiful J.S.Bach adaptation”
Show based on the Passione in due, in which the Marseille National Ballet, led by Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten, revisits “St. Mathew’s Passion” by Johann Sebastian Bach. The work is freely and tastefully adapted by the musician and composer, Franck Krawczyk, who succeeds in transmitting suffering, sensuality and sacrifice through the intensity of the piano and the melancholia of the accordion. The bodies dance in synchronisation and with determination, engaging with the sounds.
Greco and Scholten, whose creations have won numerous awards and public acclaim from all over the world, remain loyal to their aesthetic and scenic universe, which drinks off classic language and postmodern dance. In this piece, the Marseille National Ballet brilliantly explores the relationship between dance and music.
