“The Vile Parody of Address” is based on a fugue by Bach, as performed by Glenn Gould, and wonderfully illustrates how Forsythe has transformed classical ballet from the inside. This piece is a rigorously contrapuntal exercise for piano, voice and dancers.
This piece features in the repertoire of the CCN – Ballet de Lorraine and was presented in April 2012 by the CCN along with two other pieces by William Forsythe: “Steptext”, which deconstructs the course of traditional choreographic sequences and “The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude”, which pushes the neo-classical language of Balanchine to the extreme.
