TRAILER | A SIMPLE PIECE - Deutsche Oper am Rhein

In an electrifying choreography for sixteen dancers, Deutsche Oper am Rhein’s new ballet director Demis Volpi created ‘A simple piece’ to the highly inventive vocal composition ‘Partita for 8 voices’ by the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw. Shot by filmmaker Ralph Goertz in a single take, the camera - and the viewer - magically becomes part of the ensemble on stage.
Perpetually moving amidst the dancers on meticulously mapped out paths, a filmmaker focuses sometimes on solos, sometimes on group structures. As if out of nowhere, double the number of dancers filling the stage only to disappear at the next shot, moving with the greatest of ease between illusion and reality.
