For any piece based on the St. John Passion, it is not enough merely to put the characters of this drama on stage. Instead, what should be shown is how hearing Bach’s composition, this “spectacular machine”, can touch, move, alter, and jolt the listeners' bodies. Perhaps the drama of any Passion doesn't play out at all in the figure of Jesus Christ, but on the side of the listener. As such, the drama centres on creating a coexistence in which its values are no longer celebrated, but called into question. BACH / PASSION / JOHANNES is the third part of a trilogy about togetherness. Working with the Berlin soloists ensemble Kaleidoskop, Chétouane presents an adaptation of Bach's music with four dancers, a singer and seven musicians.
