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.
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.
