Performer: Damien Jalet

The premiere of Bal Impérial by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui challenges and interrogates to great effect in Geneva. 

A maximalist production of Pelléas et Mélisande at Geneva's Grand Théâtre shines, but tries a little too hard. 

Swedish contemporary dance company GöteborgsOperans Danskompani pushes the audience off balance with a quirky, compelling, and innovative double bill. 

One of the few Italian festivals totally dedicated to dance, the opening of Torinodanza 2022 is dedicated to Damien Jalet's visionary Vessel. 

Heroes emerge in adversity, and there are sterling turns from Leigh Melrose as a pugilistic Golaud and from the venerable Arkel of Matthew Best.

Babel(words); a dance-theatre work by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Damien Jalet is presented at Lincoln Center in New York City as part of the White Light Festival 2016.

The Flemish choreographer, who describes himself as a "travelling director", talks about his appointment as head of the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève and details his future projects.
