In Still Live Salva Sanchis examines the relationship between sound and silence and so continues the study of movement that typifies him. Just as in Desh and A Love Supreme, two recent Rosas creations in which Salva Sanchis appeared as a dancer and choreographer, improvisation plays a crucial role. It is based on Reigen Seliger Geister (the Dance of the Blesssed Spirits), the second string quartet by the German composer Helmut Lachenmann. Salva Sanchis was inspired by Lachenmann’s score as well as his special vision of composition, perception and space.
