Let My Joy Remain (Que ma joie demeure)
Friday, July 6, 2012
Tickets: $25, 40, 45, 55SummerScape Opening Night Party
Ticket holders to the July 6 dance performance are invited to a post-performance reception in the SpiegelGarden and late-night dancing at the SpiegelClub.Choreography by Béatrice MassinLight, sparkling, full of soft bubbles that are about to burst at any time. The end of the show has to be read as a breath of pleasure in the right respect of Bach’s spirit and musicality.Le MondeFounded in 1993 by Béatrice Massin, Compagnie Fêtes galantes elaborates on the many aspects of Baroque dance, wedding them to contemporary choreography. By avoiding any attempt at reconstitution, Fêtes galantes brings forward, in our time, a kind of Baroque dancing that engages and appeals to a contemporary sensibility.Massin was drawn to Baroque dance by the music of the period, which she describes as being full of “movement, energy, and vitality.” Accordingly, Let My Joy Remain, the work that she and her dancers are presenting on this program, is built from phrases that come together in canons and fugues, subjects and counter-subjects, and danced to the music of J. S. Bach.

Running time for the program is approximately 60 minutes.
