Inhalt: |
A sparkling 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 careless pleasures. But beyond pure entertainment, this performance contemplates the meaning and the importance of play when we become adults...For this new creation, AIexander Ekman worked with his acolyte composer MikaeI KarIsson, but aIso with a talented team of instrumentalists not often seen on the stage of the Palais Garnier, among which gospeI singer CaIlie Day, and the incredible drummer and marimba player AdeIaïde Ferrière. |
