Saint John Passion - Théâtre des Champs-Élysées (2024) - Passion selon Saint Jean - Théâtre des Champs-Élysées (2024)

Description

"For the 300th anniversary of the creation of the work, the choreographer Sasha Waltz, accustomed to the lyrical universe, offers her version in collaboration with Leonardo García Alarcón at the head of his Ensemble Cappella Mediterranea and the double choir of Namur and the Dijon Opera, where the piece will be performed at the end of March 2024. Known for her radical and innovative aesthetic choices with powerful gestures, Sasha Waltz seizes this extraordinary page where the most inspired fervor is combined with theatricality, in order to tell the ultimate sufferings of the Son of Man. Michel Franck had chosen to inaugurate his first mandate in 2010 with Passion by Pascal Dusapin, and had entrusted the stage production to the Berlin choreographer Sasha Waltz. This set the tone for the side roads he wanted to take in terms of repertoire and artistic companionship. It was also to her that he entrusted the celebration of the centenary of The Rite of Spring in 2013, an invitation to which she responded brilliantly. Finding her at the opening of his last season resonates in perfect echo to the path he has chosen to trace since 2010."
