four seasons changed reimagines Max Richter’s iconic music Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons as a choreographed reflection on change as a powerful, yet vulnerable mode of living. BRYGGEN not only plays but moves throughout the performance in endlessly varying patterns. Alongside the musicians, a solitary dancer weaves between the strings, both acting as a counterpart and highlighting the emotional structure of the composition.

Richter took on the challenge of recomposing The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi. Once more, after Vivaldi and Richter, the four seasons are changed by adding a choreographic layer. Just like the seasons in nature change, interpretations of art keep on changing. Against conservative practices, the performance four seasons changed reflects on notions such as progression, change and adaptability.

In a mesmerizing evening, where dance and live music melts their boundaries, four seasons changed reminds us that in the face of change, there are always new horizons to be discovered.
