ABOUT THE SHOW

The dancers of the National Ballet of Canada more than do justice to the inventiveness of Crystal Pite’s writing.
For its new SEASON, the TranscenDanses series plays the loyalty card. Crystal Pite will present the FRANCE premiere of her piece Angels “Atlas. Created for the National Ballet of Canada in 2020, the choreographer returns here to her powerful choreographic language, in which movement emerges from the depths of the dancers” bodies. Each of the dancers is a unique entity, carried along by an incredible energy reinforced by particularly effective lighting work, whether in pas de deux or ensembles. It’s about life, death and the quest for infinity, universal questions that can’t help but challenge us, individually and collectively. The evening will also feature two other FRANCE premieres by Canadians James Kudelka and William Yong.
