When Vivaldi Meets Guido

© Stephane Bellocq

The dance carries everything, from the joy of spring to the passions of summer…just a splendid invitation to meditate on the beauty of life and the passage of time.

Ariane Bavelier (Le Figaro)

Malandain Ballet Biarritz has become one of the most important companies of the French choreographic landscape. This original production combines Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and the little-known works of his contemporary and compatriot Giovanni Antonio Guido. Guido’s Seasons awakens memories of belle danse (baroque dance) in the 17th century, which emerged from the ideal of governing one’s body and mind, and moving with grace, accuracy, and lightness. With Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, dancers are moved by a more natural, more human form of dance.

Yabin Wang Is Back to France with Her Latest Creation

© Tasu

Yabin Wang first traveled the world as a dancer before becoming a prolific choreographer, subtly blending various styles of traditional Chinese dance with contemporary dance techniques.

For Journey to the West, which draws its inspiration from a great classic of Chinese literature, she collaborated with French composer Laurent Petitgirard, whose symphonic music inspired her to create a journey with cinematic aspects of breathtaking beauty.

At the crossroads of East and West, the choreographer breaks boundaries through the language of the body to capture the essence of the original work: a quest for spirituality.
