Crystal Pite | Medhi Walerski | Johan Inger

Ballet BC (BC for British Columbia) is based in Vancouver and over the course of almost thirty years has built up an exciting repertoire combining classical sophistication with bold collaborations featuring different strands of contemporary dance. This is apparent in this triptych presented in Paris combining three programmes which offer a perfect illustration of the company’s artistic preferences. Crystal Pite, who needs no introduction, will once again demonstrate the power of her choreographic idiom with her new piece Frontier, in which movement wells up from the depth of the dancers’ bodies. It will be followed by Silent Tides, a work for two performers by the current director of the company, Medhi Walerski, in which sultry gestures and poetry unfold in a moment of suspended time. Lastly, Swedish choreographer Johan Inger, who is also no stranger to Parisian audiences, will present the French premiere of Passing, an epic journey through a landscape of human emotion in which meaning and the senses mingle in a lucid reflection of the human condition.
