Lost In Dance - Saburo Teshigawara and Rihoko Sa

Japanese choreographer Saburo Teshigawara reunites the soloists of the Ensemble Intercontemporain and the Lyric Suite, for Alban Berg's quarter strings.

Cultivating for many years an art of refined and vibrant movement, at the forefront of choreographic creation, the Japanese dancer and choreographer Saburo Teshigawara reunites with the soloists of the Ensemble Intercontemporain with Pierrot Lunar by Arnold Schönberg and the Lyric Suite, for quartet strings by Alban Berg. Revisiting the poems of Pierrot Lunar, a collection of poetry by the Belgian Albert Giraud, Saburo Teshigawara invents a new vocabulary of gestures to respond to the Sprechgesang (spoken-sung) used by Schönberg in this masterpiece marking a real break with post music romantic. Continuing his exploration of the Second Vienna School, Teshigawara also takes up Alban Berg's Lyric Suite. This work with its labyrinthine structure gives rise here to a melee as lively as it is majestic, bringing to the surface all the torments of passion.
