On Sunday, June 14 at 8:30 p.m. at the Théâtre Antique of Arles, Danse sous les Étoiles brings together classical ballet and contemporary dance in an evening where the seasons, human relationships and the vital breath take form on stage.
Solstice : this ballet tells the story of the passing seasons through dance. Each time of the year — spring, summer, autumn and winter — is expressed through distinct movements and emotions. Music and choreography reveal how time transforms us, with poetry and intensity.
Choreographers: Norton Fantinel and Karina Moreira - Music: Rachmaninov, Vivaldi, Mozart, Tchaikovsky - Costumes: Theama For Dance - Lighting: Salvatore Scollo
Bound : this piece explores love and the bond between two people. It reveals both the strength and the fragility of a relationship, between closeness and distance. Through dance, deep feelings, memories and emotions that unite two beings are brought to life.
Choreographer: Julien Guérin - Music: Mercy by Max Richter - Piano accompaniment: José Arrué – Violin: Nathalie Costecalde - Costumes: Theama For Dance
Six Breaths : six Breaths draws inspiration from breathing, essential to both life and dance. From the first to the last breath, the dancers portray key moments of existence: pain, love, sharing and intimacy. A sensitive and universal work.
Choreographers: Ricardo Fernando & Carla Silva - Music: Ezio Bosso - Costumes: Theama For Dance - Lighting: Salvatore Scollo
JIT (Just In Time) : this choreography questions our place in a highly mechanized, performance-driven world. The dancers perform repetitive, mechanical movements until two individuals break away, giving space to emotion and human connection. A contemporary piece that is both rhythmic and poetic.
