Music for the contemporary dance piece ‘Bluebeard’ by choreographer Tatiana Baganova featuring the dancers of Provincial Dances Theatre. The premiere took place in Yekaterinburg (RUS) in June 2021 and was part of the American Dance Festival (USA). The story is inspired by Charles Perrault’s fairy tale ‘Barbe Bleue’ (1697).

Earlier this year, Rio Wolta travelled to Russia to compose music for the renowned contemporary dance ensemble ‘Provincial Dances’. Together with eight dancers and under the direction of celebrated choreographer Tatiana Baganova, the piece ‘Bluebeard’ was written, premiering in June at the American Dance Festival in front of an international audience. With ‘Blaubart’, Rio Wolta releases a shortened version of it. A beautiful adventure thus begins: just as the album is being released, the Zurich-based musician is already back in Moscow to work on the next piece.
