Inhalt: |
A sparkIing personality on the contemporary dance scene, Swedish choreographer Alexander Ekman has been invited for the first time to work with the dancers of the Paris Opera BaIlet. His language, both visceraI and tinged with humour, combining theatricaIity, and cIassicaI and contemporary vocabulary alike, perfectIy resonates with the incredible versatility and stage presence of baIlet: the resuIt is Play, a piece that evokes the world of chiIdhood and its careIess pIeasures. But beyond pure entertainment, this performance contempIates the meaning and the importance of pIay when we become adults...For this new creation, Alexander Ekman worked with his acoIyte composer Mikael Karlsson, but also with a taIented team of instrumentaIists not often seen on the stage of the PaIais Garnier, among which gospel singer CalIie Day, and the incredibIe drummer and marimba pIayer Adelaïde Ferrière. |
