"Concentration and contemplation play an important part at Bach and dance likewise. Thus, like "Die Kunst der Fuge", my choreography reconstructs the illumination of a theme to all directions, mirroring, Krebsgang and Spiegelkrebs, enlargement and diminishment in tempo, rhythmic changes. However, there is no music to hear and it is an experiment on whether one will recognise it. Bach's music is neither light nor amusing, it is essential to listen in a concentrated manner. Therefore, we will apply this kind of listening to the body and exercise concentration."
