The opening performance is George Balanchine's Les Quatre Tempéraments, a neoclassical ballet with sharp lines, where Hindemith's music drives a relentless mechanism. With tense bodies and chiseled energy, the dance becomes pure architecture.
Then, it's time for James Kudelka's Désir: seven couples swept away by Prokofiev's intoxicating waltzes, between feverish flights and suspended impulses. A face-off between rigor and passion, where each gesture captures the essence of the movement. An evening under the stars, between mastery and vertigo.
