The art of choreography for Xavier Le Roy comes together with the art of music for Helmut Lachenmann, exploring not only dimensions of movement in dance, but also the theatrical side of musical performance, joined in a complex relationship of sight and sound.
Lachenmann’s “concrete instrumental music” is broken down into fragments, embarking on different levels – subjective and suggestive, imaginary and ephemeral – in the realm of aesthetic experience.
