Spem in Alium
Japanese choreographer Saburo Teshigawara expertly translates classical music into dance, blending elements of butoh and ballet. In this production, four dancers from KARAS engage in a dialogue with forty singers from Vox Luminis XL. The program features English choral works spanning the 16th to 20th centuries. Known for precision and stillness, Teshigawara's work combines with the refined collective sound of Vox Luminis, led by Lionel Meunier, to create a sensory experience where sound, movement, and light reinforce one another.
