Angelin Preljocaj has shared many artistic collaborations with Laurent Hilaire and Wilfried Romoli during his work at the Opéra national de Paris. The strong friendship between Angelin Preljocaj and two of the principal dancers of the Ballet de l’Opéra, give us today the opportunity to present as a one-off Un trait d'union at the Pavillon Noir. This duo created in 1989 by Angelin Preljocaj has been restaged by the Ballet de l’Opéra in 2003.
