Intérprete: John Parricelli

A game of three halves from the Britten Sinfonia, with a late appearance by three star soloists.

A l’occasion de sa seconde collaboration artistique avec le Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris, le chorégraphe britannique Wayne McGregor nous propose un voyage chorégraphique dans l’univers du peintre Francis Bacon.

Francis Bacon’s painting Blood on the Floor shows a splash of blood on a wooden floor, surrounded by orange walls with a light bulb and switch above it. This painting originally inspired Mark-Anthony Turnage to write this one-movement piece of the same name, commissioned by the Frankfurt-based Ensemble Modern in 1993 and premièred in 1994.
