The Ballet of passions
16 November France / Lyon
Hubert Hazebroucq and Jean-Luc Ho – dance master and music master – lead you into a dance concert that offers a glimpse and a glimpse of the finest pieces from the choreographic repertoire of the Grand Siècle. In a committed interpretation that makes sense in every measure and every step, this suite of ballet Entrées interweaves swirling baroque characters and passions, abstraction and theatricality, fantasy and refinement, meeting contemporary sensibility and imagination. A unique anthology of the most virtuoso pieces from the Baroque solo repertoire.
This dance concert presents the most beautiful pages of this dance repertoire, interwoven with pieces for harpsichord in the French style. A minimal staging, based on masks – de rigueur at the time for theatrical dances – underlines the movement and richness of the choreographic composition among the Baroque dance masters, blending subtlety, variety, virtuosity and sensuality in an organic concordance with the musical writing and its gesture. Supported by an interpretation committed to making sense, for each measure as for each step, this suite of Ballet Entrees, a whirl of Baroque characters and passions, interweaves abstraction and theatricality, fantasy and refinement, meeting a sensitivity and a contemporary imagination.
