Spem in Alium: Vox Luminis & Saburo Teshigawara at Muziekgebouw Amsterdam
An underground, nostalgic choral night.
Japanese choreographer Saburo Teshigawara masterfully translates classical music into dance, incorporating elements of butoh and ballet. In this performance, three dancers from KARAS engage in a dialogue with the forty singers of Vox Luminis XL, performing English choral works from the 16th to the 20th century. Teshigawara's approach is characterized by precision and concentration, creating a sensory experience where sound and movement enhance one another in a monumental choreography under sculptural light design.
