In C

Terry Riley's In C is a milestone in minimalist music – its 53 motifs move in an endless stream of possibilities. Similarly, Sasha Waltz has created  dance score that offers a framework for free variation instead of a fixed structure. Each performance is unique, as the dancers and dancers choose how they respond to the music, the space and each other.

In our version, where a dance collective assembled from an open call connects with the band's electronic musical fusion between floors of stillness, diverse movement qualities, rhythmic layers, and unexpected silences meet. Hierarchy disappears – every step, every note is born in the moment of now.

In C doesn't play predetermined roles. Everyone is part of a pulsating organism that transforms, grows and breathes throughout the performance. An experience that never repeats itself in the same way.
