Focus Dances Bach – September 16, 2022 at Bourgie Hall LiveEvents September 9, 2022 603 Festival Quartiers Danses and Bourgie Hall present Alex Neoral (Rio de Janeiro) – Focus Dances Bach The outstanding Brazilian dance company Focus Cia de Dança will be back in Montreal to present another spectacular performance. FOCUS DANCES BACH is an ode to the amazing Johann Sebastian Bach, one of the world’s best known classical composers. Musicians and dancers share the same stage in three distinct pieces. In-finito, specially conceived for Bourgie Hall, plays with the number 8, a symbol for infinity, in a never-ending movement. In Prólogo 1, 2,3,4/ Interpret, based on Partita for Violin Solo No 2’s five movements, dancers flood the stage, creating an overwhelming presence while making way for new spaces. Lastly, Um a um showcases a sequence of connected duos, unveiling the full potential of what can be achieved with two dancers. “I always look forward and I strive to explore things I don’t know in my artistic process. Yet, I realize that every piece I create is a part of my life on stage, almost as if it were a moving biography.” – Alex Neoral Artists Alexander Read, violin Elinor Frey, cello Mélisande McNabney, harpsichord Dance company FOCUS CIA DE DANÇA Alex Neoral, choreography Program J.S.
