Harmony and symmetry are the ingredients of beauty. In Symmetries, NBE (Nederlands Blazers Ensemble) searches for the ultimate beauty, where passion meets precision. On stage, a spectacular and imaginative encounter between dance, music and image emerges. Dancers from different disciplines take each other to great heights while Hotel Modern depicts a metropolis of millions on site.
One of America’s greatest living composers John Adams wrote the piece Fearful Symmetries which will feature custom music arrangement especially for NBE performing with large ensemble. The dynamic and uplifting piece brings regularity but also exciting riffs and colorful big band excerpts. Symmetries is a performance that takes you into a world of terrifying beauty.
