Sydney Dance Company presents Years

Choreographed by Rafael Bonachela, Years features solos from the incredible dancers of Sydney Dance Company, set to esteemed Australian musician Stephen Emmerson’s reimagining of Bach’s Goldberg Variations as a dialogue for two pianos performed with celebrated Australian pianist Sonya Lifschitz.

Conceived as a film dance work in lockdown, Years delves deep into the essence of movement and musicality.

Years was produced in partnership by Sydney Dance Company and Collider films, and directed by Clemens Habicht with DOP Florian Emmerich with renowned collaborator Bianca Spender for Costume. The film sees Bonachela reflect on echoes of the past to find clarity at the heart of a turbulent world.

First released: 4 – 6 November (Australia & UK) in 2021, Years was featured at the Brighton Digital Film Festival with more UK screenings coming soon.
