About
In few words:
Despite their highly individual artistic universes, these three choreographers from the Nederlands Dans Theater share the same musicality and the same aesthetic quest. A duet with clear, pure lines, Hans van Manen’s Trois Gnossiennes adopts the sonorities of Erik Satie’s score of the same name. First-time guests Paul Lightfoot and Sol León bring two pieces into the Paris Opera Ballet repertoire alternating fixed poses, rapidity of movement and theatrical devices.

Satie the mystic
Les Trois Gnossiennes, from music to dance
In the repertoire of the Ballet of the Paris Opera since 2017, Hans Van Manen's Trois Gnossiennes returns to the Palais Garnier. On stage, a pas de trois brings together two dancers and pianist Elena Bonnay. For Octave she offers us the keys to interpreting Erik Satie's score. Being one with the dancers without betraying the composer and being one with the composer without betraying the dancers: that is the challenge she sets herself as she probes the mysteries of this meditative and hieratic work.

Dance chemistry
In rehearsal with Sol León and Paul Lightfoot
Two ballets created by Sol León and Paul Lightfoot, resident choreographs at the Nederlands Dans Theater Company, enter the Paris Opera Ballet repertoire. The duo León/Lightfoot, whose choreographic language combines rapid-fire movements and fixed poses, has now created about fifty works. From erratic and dreamlike pictures in Sleight of Hand to spontaneous injunctions in Speak for Yourself, these works tend to reflect each person’s individuality and question the concept of alterity.
