This summer, the Ballet Preljocaj will be performing in the remarkable setting of the Théâtre de l'Archevêché, in the heart of Aix-en-Provence, for two exceptional open-air evenings.
Way back in 1989, Noces already contained Angelin Preljocaj’s whole alphabet: casting light and shadow on dancing bodies, the radiating shine of the performers and the omnipresence of the music. Six years later, the female duet Annonciation reveals itself in a face-to-face full of contrasts. Today, Angelin Preljocaj creates Torpeur with the collective 79D. A repertoire evening, between past and present.
PRESS
« An essential piece within the Ballet Preljocaj repertoire, Annonciation is a radiant, troubling
and captivating work of rare aestheticism worth seeing over and over again! »
L’oeil d’Olivier
« At the heart of the show, embraced by the now classic pieces Annonciation and Noces, the choreographer’s latest creation, Torpeur explodes with sensuality. A sublime triptych. Breathtakingly beautiful. »
Télérama
« Preljocaj has taken on Stravinsky’s inspired score and put his name to a masterpiece. Violent and innovative, this choreography is careful not to use the music as a mere background noise:it embraces the pulsing beat and its impeccable rhythms.»
