Artiste: Jean-Christophe Maillot

Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo sont enfin de retour à Paris avec un programme contrasté : le fascinant Autodance de Sharon Eyal puis le ballet historique Vers un pays sage de Jean-Christophe Maillot.

Jean-Christophe Maillot chorégraphie un ballet à mi-chemin entre le cinéma expressionniste allemand dans son Prologue et les codes de la danse néo-classique. Il s'interroge sur les notions de bien et de mal, les désirs plus ou moins assumés du Prince. Une soirée dont on ne sort pas indemne. 

A deeply psychological version of the fairytale, Jean-Christophe Maillot's Cendrillon provides ample opportunities for the whole cast to delve into their characters and rise to the technical challenges.

Ballet Nights is an ambitious dance project that began two and a half years ago and was the brainchild of founder, Jamiel Devernay-Laurence. Lots to applaud while celebrating its tenth programme.

Splendid and impeccable, endowed with striking virtuosity, the corps de ballet functions both as choir and living scenography, accompanying and sustaining the protagonists. Ma Bayadère in Monte-Carlo is spectacular.
