Bach's cantata BWV 209, Non sa che sia dolore
Johann Sebastian Bach only wrote two cantatas in Italian, and this is one of them. Shadow Bachs is Juliana Brandon's project to create puppet shows for all nine of Bach's solo soprano cantatas. Each show will be created, puppeteered and sung live by Juliana Brandon. This rendition of Non sa che sia dolore will be part of a larger art project called Falling Together that includes a collage series and a short book that questions why we may choose to incarnate and reincarnate onto such a challenging planet as earth.
