Death and the Maiden with Burlesque: Variation IX

DEATH COMES FOR US ALL. THIS OCTOBER.
ACB presents Death and the Maiden with Burlesque: Variation IX

The annual October start of American Contemporary Ballet’s performance season has become an unmissable way for the culturally inclined to celebrate Halloween. The company opens its 14th season with two mysterious new ballets.

When Franz Schubert realized his death from syphilis was imminent he created one of the most moving meditations on death — and greatest pieces of music — ever written. Haunting, otherworldly, and seductive, it’s as powerful today as when it was created.

ACB Director Lincoln Jones sets his ballet Death and the Maiden to a live performance of the composer’s memento mori, complete with opera singers and an eerie staging in which characters appear to levitate and disappear into darkness. The title of the piece is a motif from Renaissance art symbolizing the idea that no matter how young and beautiful you are, death can come at any time. It’s perhaps a fitting (if not somewhat chilling) reminder for a town that can be fixated on those attributes.

“I love Halloween, but I never felt it went far enough,” says Jones. Once you’ve outgrown jump scares, there doesn't seem to be a way to revel in the mysteries and beauty of darkness.”

Death and the Maiden is presented with Burlesque: Variation IX, a premiere that takes audiences further down the rabbit hole opened by last October’s Burlesque.


Death and the Maiden is danced to live performances of Franz Schubert's Der Tod und Das Madchen, and vocal performances of several of his lieder:
Du bist die Ruh, D.776
Gretchen am Spinnrade, D.118
String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor (Der Tod und das Mädchen), D.810
-Andante con moto
-Scherzo.Allegro molto - Trio Presto
-Allegro
-Der Tod und das Mädchen, D.531


Burlesque: Variation IX is danced to live performances of several George Frederic Handle pieces, performed on harpsichord:
-Suite for Piano No. 7 in G Minor HWV 432: VI. Passacaille
-Sarabande Suite No. 4 in D Minor HMV 437
-“Lascia ch’io pianga” HWV 7
