Join us for the critically acclaimed New Work for Goldberg Variations at the McCarter Theatre Center!
Deconstructing classical, formal and traditional movement vocabularies, New Work for Goldberg Variations mirrors and converses with Bach’s iconic score in a delightful interplay of rhythm, style and idiosyncrasy, shifting between encoded gestures and virtuosic dancing and demonstrating the rich emotional world lying beneath the poised surface of the Goldberg’s musical architecture.
