Performer: CCN Ballet de Lorraine

The ability of CCN - Ballet de Lorraine's dancers to rise to the occasion given superior material like Cunningham’s Sounddance demonstrates that they are capable of fine dancing but it was not sufficiently on display in this program.

This world premiere launch for Dance Umbrella 2016 was often hypnotically absorbing, largely bewildering, sometimes mind-numbing and generally incoherent.  

Merce Cunningham est mis à l'honneur par le Festival d'Automne. À Chaillot, le CCN Ballet de Lorraine et ses directeurs, Petter Jacobsson et Thomas Caley, rendent un bel hommage au chorégraphe américain.
