Partita Illumine is a multidisciplinary production that brings J.S. Bach’s iconic Violin Partitas to life through the fusion of live classical music and expressive ballet. The program explores universal themes of the human experience—resilience, joy, struggle, and transcendence—uncovering the emotional richness embedded in Bach’s music.

Each of the three Partitas will be paired with an original ballet work, offering a choreographic interpretation that reflects the evolving complexities of the human condition. With live violin performances and original choreography, Partita Illumine seeks to illuminate the timeless beauty and emotional depth of Bach’s work through a deeply human lens.
