Concert with Bach’s cello suites and Thai dancer Sasipan Srivilaluck. Alexander Suleiman, well known for his border crossings in art and music, demonstrates another stunning project. Two worlds collide: Traditional western music with Bach’s suites for cello solo is searching for a counterpart in the traditional dance culture of Thailand. Both of them will demonstrate how these two worlds can inspire each other.
