Monuments in motion - Duo

The Duo is the opportunity for Emanuel Gat to concentrate on a form that leads to a return to essentials. The limited possibilities for composition imposed by the restricted number of dancers requires a return to basics. The attention given to movement and the creation of a powerful context become even more crucial elements.

Monuments in motion - Preljocaj Montmajour

As dusk falls, the dancers of the Ballet Preliocai invite the abbey’s visitors to a sensorial experience through the building, creative dance and time. They present an intimist approach to the setting in which they reveal the full amplitude of Angelin Preliocai’s vocabulary – a blend of metaphor, state of grace and contemplation.

Monuments in Motion - Variations

Justine Berthillot and Frédéri Vernier run, embrace, lift each other and fall… In a creative outburst that is unrestrained yet in symbiosis. A blend of strength and weakness, of exploit and respite, Noos is a duo that is both natural and highly sensitive.

Auguri by Oliver Dubois at the Théâtre National de Chaillot

The new hypnotic creation by Olivier Dubois at Chaillot Program: Choreography and Scenography: Olivier Dubois Musical Creation: François Caffenne Lighting: Patrick Riou Production:  Ballet du Nord Olivier Dubois / Centre chorégraphique national Roubaix Hauts De France Coproduction: Biennale de la danse de Lyon 2016, Kampnagel Hamburg (Germany), Théâtre National de Chaillot Paris, Opéra de Lille, Grand Théâtre de Provence Aix-en-Provence, Festival Torino Danza (Italy) When the race becomes an absolute vital necessity, a frantic quest for happiness. Twenty-two men and women on stage unleash themselves in an eruption of jubilation and anguish. AUGURI is a whip crack of joy. The latest creation by Olivier Dubois¾and the finale of the trilogy Etude critique pour un trompe-l’oeil¾creates a “mystic theorem”. After the long and sublime march of Tragédie, his previous piece, here we have man’s race towards an absolute… happiness. With the extravagance we know of him and twenty-two performers, AUGURI promises to be the latest explosion from the master of the subject. The man who enjoyed a dazzling and deserved rise is here trying to find the springboard, the takeoff point to break free from gravity. Not to forget the ensemble-being! In an irresistible quest for the sensation of… happiness. An activist for the “intelligence of sensation”, Olivier Dubois strives to inspire enchantment by seeking, through the paths of men, an unfolding destiny, a secret humanity that can be read like the auguries of ancient times. Currents, counter-currents, birds, shelters, winds, abduction and furies are the guides on a frantic quest.

Nemanja Radulovic and the Ensemble Double Sens at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH - Concerto for violin and strings in E major, BWV 1042 JOHANN CHRISTIAN BACH - Concerto for viola in C minor (Sedlar/Casadesus arrangement) JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH - Concerto for violin and strings in A minor, BWV 1041 JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH - Concerto for two violins and strings in D minor, BWV 1043 (with Tijana Milosevic) JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH - Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 (Sedlar arrangement)   The ebullient Franco-Serbian violinist and his Double Sens Ensemble celebrate Bach and his concertos in a Parisian temple of classical music. His long, dark-black hair, his tattoos and his “bohemian look” make him an atypical performer on the international circuit of major soloists. However, his virtuosity is the foremost characteristic of his playing and makes him one of the most engaging of artists. This is once again demonstrated with a concert in Paris at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées entirely devoted to Bach, which is a platform illustration of his latest album, one of the major recording events of the start of the 2016 season.
