Highlands is Mal Pelo’s new production, a show where music opens the gates of time, a membrane vibrating in the imaginary of spirituality.

The show tells us about passion and the wish to find that inhospitable, savage and endless place called the Highlands. It also reflects about our questions, those asked by us, little humans.

This is a show where one gets surrounded by dance and music and thus we get projected towards a vertical poetic art located somewhere in between light and darkness.

Highlands is the last piece of the Bach project by the renowned company Mal pelo. It establishes a dialogue between Bach’s music and that from other composers such as Ärvo Parte, Haëndel, Kurtag and Purcell, as well as with texts adapted to be staged from authors like Nick Cave, John Berger and Erri de Luca; these texts are sometimes kept in their original language and sometimes they have been translated into Catalan.

Highlands stands as the closing show of the tetralogy around Bach’s music the company has been working on for the last few years. Their previous works where Bach, On Goldberg Variations / Variations and Inventions.
