| Synopsis |
YAF’s members joined the master class by Cie Rêvolution Dance Company performing Urban Ballet. Participants had a different thought on classic ballet and Hip Hop culture. Choreographed by Anthony Égéa, Urban Ballet consists of four acts that mean to show four different ways of incarnating the body. Initially constrained in the midst of a group, each performer strives to express his or her artistic singularity through dancing that gradually becomes liberated. To the sombre purity of Vivaldi’s Stabat Mater answers a sensual solo piece that plays on the male/female ambiguity. The dramatic strain of Ravel’s Boléro propels nine performers along stretched out lines, allowing for sculptural postures. The lyrical power of contemporary music inspires a strange trio performance that makes one feel as if he were penetrating the microcosm of insects. The orchestral piece by Franck II Louise, especially composed for the ballet, conjures up a body of ten dancers. |
