Lied Ballet à la Maison de la danse de Lyon ( Chorégraphie Thomas Lebru) 8 octobre 2014
Lied Ballet is a modern piece that brings together two major forms of the romantic era: one choreographic, the other musical. Using lieder texts as a handbook and an original source of choreographic writing, this production makes its mark on the movements of the past. It flirts with the narrative or formal composition of ballet and skips between the melodious thematics so central to romanticism. Death, love, nature, wanderings, solitude are just some of the common themes between these two forms that have nevertheless taken opposite paths: the folk songs that have become high art, or the shows made for the bourgeoisie which today feature in the Zénith theatres, all the while being ignored by the innovative arts. Lied and ballet, through their distinct evolutions, examine the place of social issues and tolerance in the world of culture.
