- Synopsis:
These two ballets perfectly illustrate one of the most relevant features of the musical labor of the last century, the one that refers to the diversity of voices and tendencies, to the formidable findings and changing faces that draw the multiple and plural image of modern art.
The Rite of Spring
A radically experimental version of Stravinsky’s work. Now considered by many to be his best work, a philosophical musing on the individual vs. the group.
BoleroA certified hit, it characterizes the erotic qualities of Bolero across sexualities, using three incantations of the same steps, one with a female soloist and male corps, one with a male soloist and female corps, and an all-male version. His company in Lausanne includes four separate versions in their repertoire. - Studio:
