Pas de deux

Pas de deux, choreographed by Merce Cunningham, extracted from Un jour sur deux, with kind autorisation of Opéra de Paris. 

Two danseurs étoiles at the pinnacle of their careers. An exemplary artistic journey among the most intelligent in the history of the Paris Opera: from Perrot to Andy de Groat via Bournonville, Petitpa, Balanchine and Cunningham. Wilfride Piollet and Jean Guizerix, passionate about today’s dance without ignorance of the past or closure to the future, lead a triple career: performers of the great ballets of the repertoire, dancers of choice for contemporary creators, choreographers. Accompanied by their accomplice and friend Georges Pludermacher, internationally renowned pianist, they inaugurate in Lyon a program retracing the very history of choreography and paying homage to those they love.
