Le Visage Humain
Magnus Andersson, theorbo and baroque guitar, and Karin Modigh, choreography and dance
Accompanied by French baroque music from the pens of Robert de Visée and Charles Hurel (both lute and guitar virtuosos at the court of Louis XIV during the 17th century), a rich tale dances forth.
Through the exacting movements of the baroque, allemandes, chaconnes, sarabands and minuets create a musical dance drama for both eye and ear. The journey takes
us through space and time, but also through the full range of feelings
and emotions that can be found within us all.
In Le Visage Humain, we are immersed in a world of baroque gesture
where 350 year old music and dance are performed from a
contemporary perspective by two internationally active baroque artists.
This is dance and music that came into being during a time when all
forms of artistic expression were intimately interwoven into a dynamic
process of give and take. With Karin Modigh and Magnus Andersson,
they are brought to life once again, with virtuosity, joy and genuine
curiosity.
Le Visage Humain was performed at Östergötlands musikdagar,
15 August 2010 at 13.30 at Bjärka-Säby slott and 18 August 2010 at 19
at Hägerstad nya kyrka.
