This is the world premiere of the second part of a musical and choreographic journey in which the body - social, political, sentimental - is the barometer of time.
Paulo Ribeiro and his six performers are guided by the musical compositions of Louis Andriessen and Luís Tinico, performed live by the Orchestre National de Cannes. In this musical and choreographic journey, in which the body becomes the barometer of time, the choreographer focuses on what irrevocably links us to one another, and asserts the saving power of dance.
- Quote from the Art DirectorNow one of the masters of the Portuguese choreographic scene, Paulo Ribeiro inspires his high-flying performers with a dance that is always rich, lively and moving.
The music played by the Orchestre National de Cannes is a subtle and sensual dialogue with his radiant dance. - Company and choreographerPaulo Ribeiro
Born in Lisbon, Paulo Ribeiro founded the Stridanse company in 1984, followed eleven years later by the company that bears his name, within which he has developed his own artistic language. He has worked with the Nederlands Dans Theater, the Grand Théâtre de Genève and the Ballet de Lorraine, and directed the Ballet Gulbenkian and the Compagnie Nationale de Danse. Since 2022, he has been the artistic director of his company, based in Portugal. His more than forty creations have won numerous international awards.
Orchestre National de Cannes and Arie van Beek conductor
Under the musical direction of Benjamin Levy since 2016, the Orchestre de Cannes comprises 37 musicians. In 2022, it was awarded the label of Orchestre national en région by the French Ministry of Culture.
Arié van Beek, the Dutch conductor who was awarded the Elly Ameling prize for his contribution to the artistic development of the city of Rotterdam, is a regular guest of the Orchestre national de Cannes. His knowledge of the work of composer Louis Andriessen, who contributed to the renewal of Dutch music, makes him the ideal conductor for this programme. - Mandatory informationProduced by Compagnie Paulo Ribeiro
