ABOUT THIS CONCERT
"In C" is a colorful excursion into the world of minimal music. In 2021, Sasha Waltz & Guests initiated a novel artistic process with Terry Riley's "In C" (1964) as a musical foundation. Based on Terry Riley's revolutionary and open composition of the same name, Sasha Waltz and her dancers developed choreographic material that follows a similarly variable structure, thereby leaving room for perpetually new variations. At the beginning of December 2022 the dance company presents "In C" live onstage together with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra.
Terry Riley's composition consists of 53 thematic patterns played in sequence; in unison or in other alignments. The number of performers is optional, breaks for individual players are allowed, and the individual players themselves decide how many times to repeat a pattern. This, of course, means that every performance will give us a different resulting piece
