BOLERO - EXTENDED

Maurice Ravel's music, reimagined exclusively for eight cellos, takes on a transformative quality in a unique dance and live music performance, made possible through the collaboration with Šeiko Dance Company and for the occasion enlarged Klaipėda cello Quartet.

Based on his distinctive obstruction technique, choreographer Palle Granhøj restricts the dancers' movements and establishes specific repetitive movements that align with the rhythm of Ravel’s “Boléro.” The deconstructed music is presented in a refreshing and compelling way, enhancing the overall experience as it subverts the conventional dance performance by bringing the orchestra to the stage on which the musicians move along with dancers.

Den danske koreografiske obstruction-mester Palle Granhøj har, i 2019, skabt et unikt 1-times værk i en co-produktion mellem Granhøj Dans og litauiske Seiko Dance Company.
Med ni dansere og otte cellister har han med udgangspunkt i Maurice Ravels repeterende og hypnotiserende Boléro skabt et vidunder af en moderne danseforestilling i en unik obstruktiv scenografi.
