Love till death

English choreographer Matthew Bourne likes to place the actions of the great classical ballets at the heart of our history and our modern societies. When he creates Cinderella Under Prokofiev’s music, he moves the action to the London Blitz; for its version Swan Lake, she only makes men dance. A arrives in Paris Romeo + Juliet new look Romeo loves Juliet. 1950s – girls on one side, boys on the other. We think of confinement, confinement, dance, music and love as escapes. The dance is physical, often joyful. the youth and vitality of the performers work wonders in this version, which does not forget that violence (audio and visual) can often be the only answer to a world made of prohibitions, restraints and submission, and that sometimes love unto death is the only one. the way to freedom.

Coronation, ballets and video

Self-portrait of video artist Evangelia Cranioti.
Evangeliia Kranioti.

Russian ballets arrive at the Philharmonie for an exclusive concert, the result of a collaboration with the Aix-en-Provence Festival. This is carte blanche given to the creators of three videos that revisit Stravinsky’s legendary ballets: Fire bird By Rebecca Zlotowski Petruchka (in its 1947 version) Bertrand Mandico, et The rite of spring By Evangelia Cranioti. The latter, born in Athens in 1979, takes the scandalous work of 1913, a symbol of modernity, to offer an ecofeminist reading that transforms this pagan ritual into a warning against female domination and oppression.

Ballets Russes, concert with video, February 28 and 29 at the Paris Philharmonic. philharmoniedeparis.fr:
