Compagnie Fêtes galantes

Choreography by Béatrice Massin

Founded in 1993 by Béatrice Massin, Compagnie Fêtes galantes elaborates on the many aspects of baroque dance, wedding them to contemporary choreography. Massin was drawn to baroque dance by the music of the period, which she describes as being full of “movement, energy, and vitality.” Accordingly, Let My Joy Remain, the work that she and her dancers are presenting on this program, is built from phrases that come together in canons and fugues, subjects and counter-subjects, and danced to the music of J. S. Bach.
