Les Quatre Saisons

François MAUDUIT Music: Vivaldi, Bach, Brel and other musical digressions

In the company of international soloists from the greatest companies in the world, François Mauduit takes on one of the most celebrated scores of all time. Vivaldi's ‘Les quatre saisons’ is without doubt the best-known work of this genius of the Baroque. It has given rise to many younger siblings, some of which are true musical gems (Verdi, Tchaikovsky, Haydn, Glazunov...). But the story of the seasons is also that of life's whirlwind, of eternal renewal, each time different. The seasons mark an entire life: its love stories, its challenges, its memories... They also appear in the great myths, through the works of the greatest painters and other prolific creators. Through these images, these scents and these currents, François Mauduit links the four seasons to colours that each carry a very strong symbolism. This dreamlike ballet draws from Vivaldi its vitality, its energy and its brilliance, and retains all the poetry, the reveries and the imagination that the four seasons carry within them, through an innovative musical and choreographic repertoire.

Discovering today a show created by François Mauduit means seeing that the dancer's evident background (“École de danse de l'Opéra de Paris” or “soloist with the Béjart Ballet Lausanne”) has, in just a few years, grown into an equally evident and authentic stature as a major choreographer and director, aimed at a wide audience.
