Together they are creating a dance piece with live music by and inspired by Bach. Selections from the preludes of Das Wohltemperierte Klavier, transcriptions of his chorales for four hands, and new compositions form the musical texture, executed on one piano by Matteo and his daughter Francesca. Three dancers translate this vision into movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Claire and Matteo are \nlooking for a playful and creative approach to Bach, both in the \nselection and transformation of Bach\u2019s work, as in the new pieces. \nClaire is again inspired by the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, whose writings \nwill be converted into lyrics that lean closer to pop music and, as \nsuch, form a contrast with the Classical framework, in an irreverent \nhommage to the grand master of Baroque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHommage\u201d is the keyword \nhere, not just in the sense of a tribute, but also as a gift, of the \ndancers to each other, of the musicians to the dancers and vice versa, \nand of the performers to the audience. <em>Flowers (we are) <\/em>is both \nintimate and generous, a loving ode to the performers and a search for \nthe different possible relationships between diverse personalities and \ngenerations, between dancers and musicians, between dance and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The residency in wpZimmer is a technical residency near the end of our creation process, so we will be working on and finetuning the dance material and the dramaturgy as well as the definitive costumes, scenography and lighting plan. Matteo and Francesca will be present for three days, which will give us the opportunity to rehearse with live music and work on the interaction between musicians and dancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/wpzimmer.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flowers-we-are-1024x539.jpg\" alt=\"Flowers (we are)\" class=\"wp-image-1380\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Claire Croiz\u00e9_Flowers (we are) \u00a9 Julie De Meester<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">credits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concept: Claire Croiz\u00e9<br>Musical composition: Matteo Fargion<br>Dance: Emmi V\u00e4is\u00e4nen, Claire Godsmark, Gorka Gurrutxaga<br>Music interpreted by Matteo Fargion and Francesca Fargion<br>Music: Bach<br>Dramaturgy: Etienne Guilloteau<br>Costume design: Anne-Catherine Kunz<br>Production: ECCE vzw<br>Co-production: De Vlaamse Overheid, Concertgebouw Brugge, wpZimmer, Kunstencentrum BUDA, Kaaitheater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-11506","projects","type-projects","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Flowers (we are) - wpZimmer<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wpzimmer.be\/en\/projects\/flowers-we-are\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Flowers (we are) - wpZimmer\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Flowers (we are) is Claire Croiz\u00e9\u2019s first collaboration with contemporary composer Matteo Fargion.
