BALLET DU GRAND THÉÂTRE DE GENÈVE

A centuries-old tradition combined with contemporary style make Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève one of the most brilliant ensembles on the European scene. The Lux/Glory diptych well represents its current physiognomy: thanks to a new generation of choreographers, capable of subverting genres, the diptych is a profane divertissement on the solemnity of sacred music. Lux, by Swiss Ken Ossola, is a choral choreography on Fauré’s Requiem, punctuated by hopeful outbursts, almost a return to the condition of innocent mankind. Glory, choreographed by Greek Andonis Foniadakis, is a sort of pagan bacchanal in which the dancers’ bodies, in modern chitons, come together in a sculpted bas-relief to Händel’s notes.
