Les Grands Ballets Canadiens will be embarking on a tour in Spain in April and May 2024. Across four performances in three cities (Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Pamplona, and Bilbao), the company will showcase Uwe Scholz's Symphony No. 7 and Mauro Bigonzetti's Cantata.
April 27 and 28, 2024 - Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Auditorium de Tenerife
May 1, 2024 - Pamplona, Navarre, Museo Universidad de Navarra - Teatro
May 3 and 4, 2024 - Bilbao, Biscay, Teatro Arriaga
In Symphony No. 7, the dancers enter a symbiotic relationship with Beethoven's imposing music. The work becomes a leitmotif, with its athletic prowess and its geometry danced in sync. Presented for the first time as the 2017 season opening performance, it instantly captured the hearts of Montrealers.
With its visceral, passionate gestural language, Mauro Bigonzetti’s Cantata evokes rugged Mediterranean beauty and embraces the colours of the South. Instinctive and vital, the dance explores the multiple facets of relationships between men and women, from seduction and passion to quarrels and jealousy. The voices and music of the four on-stage singers draw the ten pairs of dancers into the festive atmosphere from Southern Italy’s popular quarters, to the sounds of the tambourine and castanets.
