  – Main Post Wurzburg
  
  “The stage direction was led by a classically minded musician with a sense for youth culture: Christoph Hagel. Now there is yet another reason to praise him.”

Flying Bach

• The Flying Steps dance to Bach’s “Well-Tempered Clavier”

  Choreography: Vartan Bassil
• redbullfylingbach.com

• “Through Flying Bach, we acquire completely new access to Bach’s congeniality. Standing ovations were given to the troupe under the artistic direction of Christoph Hagel, who gave a spotlessly clean performance as a virtually romanticized interpreter of Bach – Constantly in connection with the choreography at break-neck speed.”

  “The world needs more of this!”
  – Berliner News
  
  “How is this supposed to work? Bach, the true definition of civil middle-class culture, and break dance – the dance moves out of the Bronx? The answer: It works damn well! As soon as these high performing artists move to the music coming from the piano and assimilate their art to the baroque scores, the magic begins. Difficult to imagine, admittedly. But once you have seen it, there is nothing more coherent than break dance to Bach.”
