in schnee, Die 6 Cellosuiten von J.S.Bach

The novel The Magic Mountain by German writer Thomas Mann fed the imagination of Joachim Schloemer and led him to draw out the metaphor of the snowflake, evoke the fragility and transient nature of life as well as emphasise the precarious desire for purity and the absolute, through the image of landscapes covered in ephemeral whiteness. This German choreographer and stage director's first performance at La Monnaie takes us on a special, intimate and poetic journey, accompanied by Bach's Six Cello Suites.
