The work of art as a mirror of the soul

Maurice Ravel's Boléro is a famous orchestral work that was premiered in Paris in 1928. It is characterized by its simple, repetitive melody and a steady, even rhythm that builds from a quiet beginning to a powerful climax. The piece consists of only one theme, which is repeated over and over again, while the instrumentation varies gradually and the musicians become continuously louder and more powerful.
Enrique Gasa Valga's choreographic staging of this composition in Crescendo pays tribute to this dynamic in a touching way. The intensification of the sound to the extreme is intended to celebrate the miracle of life.
