One of the key themes of Vyacheslav Samodurov’s new creation, the exploration of the human body, is a clear callback to Leonid Yacobson’s Rodin.

Vyacheslav Samodurov enjoys a well-deserved reputation as a leading contemporary choreographer. His latest work, 598 Beats, is inspired by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The choreographer seeks out modern messages and meanings within the baroque concerto, and uses the score to highlight the intersections between the corporeal and the spiritual.
