This evening brings together two choreographers from different generations, with singular backgrounds.
Brazilian Juliano Nunes trained at the Rio de Janeiro Conservatory, then in Mannheim, Germany. After dancing with the Royal Ballet of Flanders, the Leipzig Ballet and the Norwegian National Ballet, he turned to choreography. His writing draws on classical vocabulary while exploring the body's instinctive responses: fluid spirals, fine articulation, attentive musicality. Invited by Nederlands Dans Theater 2, London's Royal Ballet and the Mariinsky Theatre, this is his first creation for a French company.
Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui created Loin in 2005 for the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève. In this work, he questions the distance between human beings, eras and cultures through the friction of languages. He confronts a Baroque sonata with a Moorish-inspired set and costumes reminiscent of Japanese martial arts. The dancers speak, isolate gestures and pass them on: identities blur, bodies merge, distance becomes encounter.
