With Grand miroir, his third creation for the Paris Opera, Saburo Teshigawara continues to pursue his concept of an open work, guided by his ever-vigilant creativity.
Choosing Esa-Pekka Salonen's Concerto for Violin and Charles Baudelaire's poem La musique, he works alchemist-like moving beyond artistic categories to explore the relationship between substance and movement: in this case, an examination of the secret affinities between the textures of sound, poetic images and the body's organic rhythm.
