About

Listen to the synopsis

0:00 / 0:00

In few words:

In a castle whose floor is littered with dead leaves, a man compulsively plays a tape recorder. Surrounded by figures that haunt him, he listens, rewinds and listens again to the music of Bluebeard. Created in 1977, Pina Bausch's piece, which enters the Ballet's repertoire this season, transforms Bartók's opera into a wild and intense ritual: that of a man confronting his thirst for power, his desires and his fantasies. Perrault's original fairy tale is the inspiration for this major Tanztheater piece. Men and women dive headlong into a choreography that exposes the violence and absurdity of human relationships. The compulsive nature of desire becomes a principle of writing: locked in a series of gestures repeated to the point of exhaustion or explosion, Pina Bausch's tragic characters draw us into a breathless world where seduction and domination converge.

Media coverage

  • Forty-five years after its creation, Pina Bausch's choreography, carried by a new generation of dancers, continues to impact us strongly.

    Les Échos, 2022
  • The quest for love and power, where tenderness and violence merge: Pina Bausch’s art in its purest form.

    Radio France, 2022
  • Relentless, unbearable in terms of both beauty and violence, Pina Bausch's very personal adaptation of Bluebeard is rediscovered more than forty years after its creation and still makes the effect of an emotional earthquake.

    Sceneweb, 2022
