Kansas City Ballet in Jewels: ballet for ballet's sake

Hilary Stroh, 10th May

Balanchine's Jewels for the Kansas City Ballet is a very pleasing way to end the season.

North American premiere of Caniparoli's Jekyll & Hyde is gripping

Hilary Stroh, 13th October

Enthralling, intense and terrifying, yet compellingly watchable. It may send chills down the spine but it is quite brilliantly portrayed.

*****

KCB's authentic Cinderella has clear narrative and plenty of parody

Hilary Stroh, 17th February

Devon Carney's Cinderella is fast-moving and busy, with the stepsisters cavorting across the stage as the epitome of pantomime dames

Requiem(s) de Preljocaj, trop-plein d'émotions sensible et confus

Julie Jozwiak, 6th May

Mettant en scène une multitude de représentations du deuil, le spectacle offre un patchwork contrasté et inégal, avec des moments bouleversants comme des enchaînements décousus.

Lérus, Eyal et le Ballet de l'Opéra du Rhin en symbiose

Julie Jozwiak, 4th May

Ici de Léo Lérus et The Look de Sharon Eyal s'enchainent parfaitement et semblent comme deux facettes d'une même pièce, où l'affirmation de l'individu et le sens du collectif vont de pair.

Trois Forsythe inégaux par le Ballet de l'Opéra national du Rhin

Julie Jozwiak, 26th April

Si Trio et Quintett suscitent quelques interrogations, Enemy in the Figure est le clou de la soirée – mais il manque dans l'interprétation cette déflagration esthétique typique de Forsythe.
