A Joyful Tornado
Ballet de Lorraine glitter in a double bill, featuring work by two contemporary choreographers. In these works, Ayelen Parolin and Marco da Silva Ferreira both explore the joy of shared dance, as expressed at raves and in nightclubs. Parolin’s title Malón is a reference to a state of disorder, when energy and movement are amplified to the point of excess in a dance rave. Da Silva Ferreira’s title is a reference to the folia, a festive 16th-century Portuguese shepherds’ dance. Bringing out its ecstasy, joy and entrancing effect, he mirrors this folk dance to nightclub dancing.
