Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo

Le Sacre du printemps (2009) | Altro Canto Part I (2006)
 

A musical revolution, then a major dance work. Here, Nijinsky’s choreography is stylised as “tableaux of pagan Russia”. Two vast painted canvases are the backdrop for Earth’s renewal and The Chosen One’s sacrifice: intense group mouvements and sumptuous costumes. Altro Canto Part I, by the company’s director and dancers, is timeless dance in a kind of expressive abstraction: magical chiaroscuro beneath a row of hanging mobile candles.
A piece of sacred architecture celebrating bodies in motion.
