Warding off ill fortune and the pandemic, Hélène Blackburn has accepted an invitation from Les Grands Ballets to create a piece for 8 dancers. Lively and precise, her dance, never without a virtuosic element, unfolds in time and space by way of a succession of solos and duos that comprise instants of both delight and impromptu encounters.
Like the pagan festivities that marked the imaginations of pandemics past, the piece reminds us of just how much the call of the other can prove to be irresistible. Set to Dear Criminals’ music, Fête Sauvage invites us to minutes of happiness and stolen pleasures, so that we may forget and immerse ourselves for a few moments in the paradise lost of life as it was.
