Bach for baroque cello, beatbox and dance
Based on the principle that “music equals movement, equals noise”, the three artists develop a work for baroque cello, beatbox and dance using material from the first two cello suites by J. S. Bach.

SUITE CUBIC
As if in a virtual space built from sound and movement, streams and formations emerge; patterns, shades and characters of all kinds come to life. What is essential here is that all three perform as equal instruments of one composition, a trio that allows the polyphony of Bach's compositions to appear in a completely new light. What would Bach be like as a performance artist today?
The SUITE CUBIC was created as the fourth individual work in the ImPuls der Suite series, founded in 2015 by baroque cellist Julia Kursawe, in collaboration with German beatbox champion and runner-up Daniel Mandolini and multiple dance and choreography award winner Yui Kawaguchi.
