Catalan dancer-choreographer María Muñoz’s eloquent, evocative solo is pure movement. Embracing Glenn Gould’s recording of J.S. Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, she dances on the edge of a fragile trance. Muñoz’s superb presence and singular personality draw us into her concentrated attempts to ’catch’ the music, swirling around in the arms of an invisible partner, or breaking into a sudden syncopated run.
