CCN Ballet de Lorraine

On a dark stage with a reflective floor, twenty-one dancers in brightly colored costumes form a tight semicircle. Standing and kneeling at different levels, they extend their arms toward a shared central point, creating a geometric pattern with their hands under overhead light.

With “Turning Burning”, Jan Martens created his first piece for ballet in 2016. Using a large ensemble, the Belgian choreographer pays tribute to iconic figures of post-modern and minimalist dance, such as Lucinda Childs and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. Martens focuses here on rotation in a work that is both hypnotic and powerful.

Twyla Tharp's “The Fugue” plunges us into the avant-garde energy of 1970s New York. Inspired by Bach's ‘Musical Offering’ it is a masterpiece of choreographic composition. Each of the three performers represents a musical register: bass, alto and soprano. The music is created by the sound of the dancers' footsteps on an amplified stage.

With “a Folia”, Marco da Silva Ferreira seeks to explore the notion of ecstasy, the joy and trance that emerge from a moment of dance shared by a group. The ‘folia’ refers to a Portuguese folk dance with a festive atmosphere freed from social conventions linked to gender or class. It's this idea that interests the Portuguese choreographer, who seeks to translate it by mirroring Portuguese folia with the nightclub dances of our time.
