Le Parc

Angelin Preljocaj stands out as one of the most original personalities of French contemporary dance. In the search for what still remains of the “art of loving”, Preljocaj has turned to the literature of the 17th and 18th centuries, which spawned myriad conducts and codes for love, ranging from platonic sublimation to licentiousness. Guided by Mozart’s mesmerizing music, the choreographer constructs in three acts his little drama of amorous intrigues. On his cruel chessboard of passions, it is the dawning of true love that is at stake.
