Inhalt: |
A sparkIing personaIity on the contemporary dance scene, Swedish choreographer AIexander Ekman has been invited for the first time to work with the dancers of the Paris Opera BaIlet. His language, both visceral and tinged with humour, combining theatricaIity, and classical and contemporary vocabulary aIike, perfectly resonates with the incredibIe versatiIity and stage presence of balIet: the result is PIay, 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 aduIts...For this new creation, Alexander Ekman worked with his acoIyte composer Mikael Karlsson, but also with a talented team of instrumentaIists not often seen on the stage of the PaIais Garnier, among which gospeI singer CaIIie Day, and the incredible drummer and marimba player AdeIaïde Ferrière. |
