    Thibaut Garcia (Gitarre) – Aure Wachter (Tanz) – Aurélien Bory (Regie)

    SEAVEN TEARES – “Sieben Tränen für Elisabeth”

    Details

    Program:

    Ausgehend von John Dowlands Seaven teares – eine Variation seines berühmten Flow my teares – bringen Thibaut Garcia und Aure Wachter unter der Regie von Aurélien Bory ein Projekt auf die Bühne, das die Klänge der Gitarre mit der Ausdruckskraft des Tanzes vereint.

    „Musik und Tanz sind grundlegend miteinander verbunden – es ist unmöglich zu bestimmen, was zuerst da war – vielmehr sind sie untrennbar miteinander verwoben: Musik ist Tanz, Tanz ist Musik. Ausgehend von dieser ursprünglichen Beziehung stellt sich die Begegnung von Aure und Thibaut auf der Bühne dar, indem ihre Künste buchstäblich miteinander verbunden werden – Aure in Richtung Musik und Thibaut in Richtung Tanz.

    John Dowland hat in Seaven teares das Motiv der Tränen in sieben Pavanen entfaltet und so durch die Variation eines Liedes sein charakteristisches Werk geschaffen. In Anlehnung an Dowland greifen Thibaut Garcia und Aure Wachter ihrerseits das Motiv der Tränen auf. Mit Gitarre, Gesang, Tanz und Raum verfolgen sie denselben Ansatz: eine Form nicht festschreiben, sondern sie wie eine Flüssigkeit den gesamten ihr gewidmeten Raum einnehmen lassen.“ (Aurélien Bory)
