Ballet Preljocaj : Soulèvement

Soulèvement Duration: 1h20 without interval What is this mysterious force that unites us beyond our differences, our singularities, and our beliefs? The one that brings us together in the streets, village squares, or in the heart of metropolises?

The one that draws us out of our homes, that pushes and exalts us, that circulates like a wave from one body to another and carries a common feeling in the face of injustices, differences in resources and social status.

From Antiquity to the present day, passing through the Age of Enlightenment, history is punctuated by these sporadic uprisings, fuelled by a dream, a utopia, but most often by a vital necessity.

This raw energy, this movement of bodies that stands like a dike and moves like a flock of starlings that disintegrates only to reconfigure further on, this wild beauty nourished by the energy of despair and which dreams of igniting the spark of renewal, I would like to make it circulate like a joy in the bodies.

From this dance of uprising, perhaps a space will open from which the most beautiful impulses of sisterhood, the strongest feelings of freedom, the deepest bonds of fraternity can spring forth.
