The Lyon Opera Ballet rekindles the flame of DANCE , Lucinda Childs's dizzying classic, and shines the first sparks of a new piece by Alessandro Sciarroni.

Created in 1979 after a series of silent pieces, DANCE juxtaposes the writing of American choreographer Lucinda Childs with a sublime score by Philip Glass. With its expansive and ethereal gestures, its penchant for repetition and variation, and its play on trajectories, its vocabulary embodies a stimulating modernity, made even more spectacular by the collaboration with Sol LeWitt. For DANCE , the visual artist conceived a system in which a film projected onto a screen faithfully and dizzyingly echoes the events unfolding on stage. This sense of vertigo is something Alessandro Sciarroni has often explored, whether revisiting traditional dances in The Collection or studying rotation in TURNING_motion sickness , two pieces danced by the Lyon Opera Ballet, with whom the Italian choreographer maintains a fruitful relationship. With this creation, he further develops his long-standing exploration of the potential of the group.
