We Unfold – a new work for Sydney Dance Company

Bonachela’s we unfold is effectively a dual arts premiere, with choreography set to the world premiere of Symphony No 1 for Orchestra and Solo Cello by celebrated Italian composer Ezio Bosso.

“When I heard this new symphony I was completely swept away. I could immediately see my new work arising out of it”, says Rafael Bonachela. “Through his music, Ezio creates tensions that take me to a very emotional place. When I hear it I feel then I see.

Kalkadunga Man – “unbelievable” and “truly breathtaking”

City Recital Hall Angel Place, Sydney, 25/02/09:
“The first half was a transcendental & transportative experience. The programming of Medieval pieces in such a context was a bold decision that paid big dividends! “Proxima Centauri” was the closest approximation to musical perfection I have heard. The second half had a wonderfully inclusive & personal atmosphere with pieces that conveyed the experience of the “true” Australia.”(supporter)

Tenebrae: The breathtaking trilogy finds its conclusion

Add another indelible impression about the Song Company’s performances to your memory. Join us for the conclusion of our Tenebrae trilogy which left impressive memories with audiences in 2005 and 2006 already.

Directed by Shaun Parker, who took part in Tenebrae I and II as a dancer, the third part promises to be challenging and powerful. Based on the Responsories for Holy Week by famed 17th century composer Carlo Gesualdo the artists will explore universal themes of humanity, sacrifice and death.

The performance will take place at the modern, industrial spaces of CarriageWorks which, in the hands of Artistic Director Roland Peelman, provides the perfect setting for the contemporary take on Gesualdo’s composition.
