Ljubljana is proud to welcome the Italian dance company Aterballetto, founded in 1977 and with an international reputation for remarkable artistic quality. The company will perform two pieces under the common name Bach Project. The common thread of the project is the music of J. S. Bach, to the accompaniment of which the dancers explore the relationship between dance and music, or between classical composition and its modern transformation. The first work, Sarabande, created in 1990, was conceived by Jiří Kylián as “a venture by means of choreography” – like a black-and-white sketch to be completed and coloured in the mind and fantasy of the observer. And, although their starting point is of a clearly intellectual nature, the result itself is determined by emotional energies. Bach’s music, with its perfect structure and divine vision, is not interpreted – does not need any interpretation. As for this ballet, the contrast between music and dancing/sounds is like a sensory playground for human relations and instincts. The second piece, entitled Domus Aurea, is the work of the young choreographer Diego Tortelli, who is joined in his quest for perfection by the visual artist Massimo Uberti, who uses the lines of neon lights to create a home for the dancers
