During this evening at the Wilder Building, you will enjoy two performances:
Through incessant back-and-forth, the duo Reset performed by Véronique Giasson and Laurent Le Gall, pushes the body’s physical limits while imposing strict and precise movements. Featuring music from LACRYMOBOY (Aix-en-Provence, France), the piece sheds light on the infinite possibilities offered by a point A to point B trajectory. Every new and progressively more complex start is built on a road that has already been travelled, on the past of two bodies restarting their voyage, over and over again.
Malandain Ballet Biarritz presents Nocturnes, an interpretation of the overwhelming sorrow love can cause. It showcases funeral dances from the end of the Middle Ages on Les Nocturnes, a collection of 21 music pieces Frédéric Chopin created between 1827 and 1846. Broadening the relationship between life and death, the show describes the relationship between the passage of time and death, picturing it as the brotherly reunion of all humans, becoming more than just life or death. Picturing everlasting melancholy, Nocturnes draws its inspiration from Chopin’s dark romanticism and medieval funeral dances.
