Six Breaths – part of the ballet triptych Lumière at the Wrocław Opera. Choreography – Rafael Bonachela Music – Ezio Bosso – 2025

Six Breaths

Rafael Bonachela created this piece, set to music composed by Ezio Bosso. The work lacks a specific content, leaving much room for imagination, even though we know that each movement corresponds to a different stage of human life. The music itself is exceptionally compelling, with energetic, repetitive moments interwoven with reflective melodies and cello murmurs. The choreography is equally compelling: requiring excellent physical conditioning and the perfect coordination of 18 dancers in the ensemble scenes. The dance devised by Bonachela is athletic, though not forceful, plastic, yet angular and compelling. For the Wrocław Ballet, this was no easy feat. (Katarzyna Gardzina – Ruch Muzyczny)
