Choreography George Balanchine
Music Piotr Ilitch Tchaikovsky
If Balanchine revolutionized classical ballet by reducing it to the essentials (the décor and the argument come to the background) his work is not austere. It can be compared in this to a Picasso who, having rid the painting of his superfluous, has never renounced figuration and mischievousness. In both cases, the liveliness of the line, the intelligence of the movement are revolutionary but they do not dry out their art. Allegro Brillante is a major work in the history of dance. "It contains everything I know about classical ballet, in thirteen minutes of time," says Balanchine.
CREATION 2011
Choreography Lucinda Childs
Music Osvaldo Golijov
From the 1960s when she participated in the performances of the minimalist and avant-garde collective of Judson Church to Oceana, which she created in 2011 for the Ballet Nice Méditerranée, Lucinda Childs has never stopped refining her quest for movement. Perpetual. The repetition of the gestures and their multiplication led her to invent a fluid dance that follows one another and finds its strength in its eternal restart. Oceana is a choreographic melodrama woven from an initial fragment that unfolds in a sumptuous lace.
CREATION 2018
Choreography Éric Vu-An
Music Charles Gounod
What if dance was the most irresistible temptation? In this twirling ballet, Faust is the toy of a Mephistopheles mastering the art of movement like no other. At any moment, the terrible tempter lets love blossom and will take it back the next moment. But it is above all the insatiable pleasure of engaging in a nervous and erotic dance that dominates this ballet. The classical vocabulary is put here at the service of a shimmering ballet and gives itself to be seen in all its virtuosity. A real challenge for the dancers, this Faust offers a moment of entertainment not to be missed.
