Presentation
HUNT — Caught between external pursuit and interior journey, a desperate figure performs a sacrifice celebrating life’s infinite cycle and the ever-changing nature of our physical form.
L’Après-midi d’un faune — As a faun awakens from his dreams, he becomes intrigued by playful nymphs, disrupting their dancing to claim an abandoned veil, which becomes the object of his intense adoration.
Un Boléro — Between moments of elegance and fury, a sensual, ethereal figure performs a fiery ritual, guided by a hypnotic, building melody that evokes distant memories of Spain.
Co-produced with La Filature, the national theater of Mulhouse, this production shines a new light on three legendary titles forever linked to the dancers in Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, a groundbreaking ballet company that forever changed the dance landscape in the early 20th century. Here, Tero Saarinen entrusts for the first time his signature HUNT solo to new performers, who revisit the Rite of Spring. Dominique Brun breathes new life into Nijinsky’s original choreography for The Afternoon of a Faun while also taking on the captivating rhythms of Ravel’s Bolero, working alongside François Chaignaud, the OnR Ballet’s guest artist.
