Grande Salle
Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève
Stolen kisses, poison, prayers and the large waves of Prokofiev inspired Joëlle Bouvier: her first creation for the fantastic dancers of the ballet of the Grand Théâtre de Genève (Geneva opera house) is a success, full of charm and style.
The choreographer has a passion for the character of Juliette. She is touched by her purity, her rational madness and above all her self-sacrifice. Her show is initially an ode to the angel of Verona, with the death of the lovers in the preamble as in the play by Shakespeare. Thanks to its unique rounded wall with a favourable angle for slides, the stage is timeless and from all times at once. The best setting for a refined and very elegant show.
You can recognise the Bouvier touch in the superb images, the grace of “pas de deux” steps interspersed with amorous characters running up to one another and away from one another, dynamic and very well organised ensembles, especially in the balcony scene, which does without decoration in an ingenious manner. An exemplary new interpretation.
