LE QAH PRESENTS A QUARTET + HIP-HOP VERSION
Throughout his improvisations, dancer Bryan Montarou combines, confronts, and interweaves his movements with those of the four musicians.
Details on the musical program:
We know his waltzes, polkas, and operettas, but what has Johann Strauss left behind besides his works? What has he transmitted, initiated? Many of his contemporaries and successors were fascinated by this exceptional melodist, admired him, and were inspired by him: Brahms, Verdi, Richard Strauss, but also Webern and Berg.
Let’s attempt to connect them, also interpreting Lehàr, Helmessberger, Lumbye, and bring forth from all these aesthetics the imprint of Strauss. A creation by Charles-David Wajnberg will create breaches in the concert’s time, adding the now electronic sounds of the clarinet to the melodic writing of the late 19th century.
