Béatrice Massin

CIE FÊTES GALANTES
Un voyage d’hiver (2006)
 

Choreographer Béatrice Massin is recognized for her outstanding work in the research and repertory of baroque dance and in this new creation she dedicates herself to a passionate exploration. As she crosses different aesthetics and different periods in history, she builds her subject around the body and writing. There is an unexpected choice of music: Lieder from Voyage d’hiver by Franz Schubert.  This is a twilight universe portrayed in several compositions where there is a premonition of the emerging of a new artistic period – romanticism. The seven dancers surround baritone Philippe Cantor who blends perfectly and mixes in with the choreographic design without losing either his magnificent quality or his emotion. A mobile platform, like a musical show, where a piano takes its place, offering the singer and dancers the necessary contemplation for this sublime, refined journey.
