Noé
After his re-readings of Romeo and Juliet or Cinderella, he returns with a stroke of brilliance: Noah, a piece that starts from the biblical myth to evoke humanity. On an imposing score – Gioacchino Rossini’s Messa di Gloria – twenty-two dancers form on stage a symbolic community, a “collective human being” transformed by the Flood.
Their epic takes shape over a choreography with complex and refined architecture, discreet and deeply musical. Following St. Augustine, who tried to demonstrate that the proportions of the Ark were also those of the human body, Thierry Malandain invents a parable more metaphysical than religious. What destiny for the universal man? With Noé, the Malandain Ballet Biarritz returns to the tradition of symphonic ballet – and pleads for a new fraternity.
