Bartók / Mikrokosmos
An evening of dance and music in three parts: the dance duet Mikrokosmos, set to a composition by Bela Bartók for two pianos, a musical work by György Ligeti, performed by two pianists, and the dance to the Fourth String Quartet by Bela Bartók. All the music will be performed live. An exciting complicity develops between the musicians and the dancers.
Bartók/Mikrokosmos is a performance about dance and music and especially about the pleasure of dancing and playing together, in which the spectator participates simply by watching.
