Dancer

Entitled “Inner Landscapes”, this evening suggests an intimate quest, an exploration of emotions and movement in three pieces, two of which are new additions to the repertoire.

In Vers un pays sage (1995), choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot pays tribute to his father, the painter Jean Maillot. To the frenzied music of John Adams, the dancers engage in a dazzling marathon, a joyful explosion of colour.

Aszure Barton makes her Paris Opera debut with a black-and‑white piece, Busk (2009), whose title refers both to the English word for street performance and the Spanish buscar (to search). Using gypsy and choral music, the Canadian choreographer highlights the potential of the dancers’ bodies in an expressive and virtuoso language, sometimes close to mime.

Finally, William Forsythe’s sharp writing marries David Morrow’s music to offer the Rearray trio, a brilliant set of theme and variations pushing bodies to their limits.
