2h25 with 2 intervals

Synopsis

Serge Lifar, who died 40 years ago, distilled his neoclassical art in Suite en blanc (1943). This work of “pure dance” has become almost a ritual for the Paris Opera Ballet, paying tribute to the French school while continuing to inspire it over time.

A musical score provides a uniquely potent impulse for choreographic invention. The hypnotic music of Ravel’s Boléro inspired Shahar Binyamini, a choreographer trained at the Batsheva Dance Company, to create a physical and frenetic ballet that is now entering the Paris Opera’s repertoire.

Seizing on the revolutionary rhythms of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, Pina Bausch created a visceral, highly emotional piece in 1975, where the Chosen One’s blood-red dress and her earth-stained skin, emerging from the chorus of dancers, evoke a primitive ritual and transcend the audience.

Choreographer Pina Bausch

By aria

“Dance, dance, or we are doomed.” With such a quote, you can't say I didn't warn you! About what? Well, about dance being a matter of life for Pina Bausch.

She wasn’t much of a talker and didn’t like explaining her work, she was quite serious and always had a cigarette in hand. Follow me to learn more about the mysterious Pina Bausch.

5 questions about Le Boléro

By aria

Bolero is a Spanish dance. But Le Boléro is a ballet score composed by Maurice Ravel. Then, another Maurice, whose last name is Béjart, created a choreography to this music. Is it clear or have I lost you?
