Goldberg Variations
A dreamlike journey for string trio, solo body and images

On Friday 16 April (at 21.00) the Virtual Theatre of the Centro Servizi Culturali S. Chiara will stream the entire immersive performance centred on Bach's masterpiece: "Goldberg Variations" - A dreamlike journey for string trio, solo body and images. The performance was recorded in 4 October 2020 in Parma (at the extraordinary deconsecrated church of BDC28), on the occasion of its world premiere, and with the contribution of Associazione Concorto and Emilia Romagna Teatro Fondazione.
Based on an idea by Gian Maria Lodigiani (Mozart Orchestra) and Riccardo Buscarini, the performance aims to explore the dreamlike side of J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations, through a unique interpretation featuring a string trio, a dancer, and an "ephemeral structure" of videomapping and projections onto the body and the surrounding environment. A performance that combines music, dance and audiovisuals with the precise aim of creating a syncretic and immersive experience between the arts.
"Goldberg Variations" will take the audience through four dreamlike scenes - the labyrinth, the desire, the mirror, the flight. Conceived as four Jungian archetypes, these metaphors for the four ages of man will give life to the "digital" suggestions and visions that make up the architecture of the show.
The string trio is composed entirely of musicians from the Mozart Orchestra, founded in Bologna by Claudio Abbado: Gian Maria Lodigiani (violin), Behrang Rassekhi (viola) and Luca Bacelli (cello).
