The choreography mirrors the tension emitted by the continuum of voices and their vibrations, transmitting it into the dancers’ bodies. Just as the seemingly monotonous music, faithful to the modal language of its time, occasionally bursts apart under an overflow of pain or exaltation, so too do the dancers break free from these monodies, becoming turbulent, stamping the ground with their feet, or separating from the group.
Amala Dianor’s staging aligns with the images evoked in the motets: the dance highlights the striking dissonances of the counterpoint, underscoring the suffering of the crucified.
