In Trois Grandes Fugues, three revolutionary female choreographers – Lucinda Childs, Anna Teresa de Keersmaeker, and Maguy Marin – each lend their distinct style to Beethoven’s intricate “Grosse Fuge” for a string quartet. Each choreographer is paired with a unique recording of the notoriously challenging composition in this triple bill of choreographic imaginings, danced by the exquisite artists of Lyon Opera Ballet. An inquiry into translation, Trois Grandes Fugues, explores how movement and musicality interact in distinct ways, demonstrating how the creative visions of musicians, dancers, and choreographers converge to create a truly novel interpretation that can never be duplicated.
