There's a blue bird in my heart

Création 2022

Commissioned for the Lyon Opera Ballet 

Intent

At the invitation of the Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon, Yuval Pick returns to the place where he was a dancer from 1999 to 2001. Yuval Pick is the choreographer and director of the CCN de Rillieux. He has developed a unique language of movement; through the memory of bodies, the invention of forms, and the experience of space, the choreographer touches on the essence of his art: emotion.

In this new piece Yuval Pick summons the emotions of the performers and audience, giving rise to a “body of the heart”, as one might call a corps de ballet, and rediscovering the “flesh of the world”. He seeks to unveil the multiple layers that constitute a corps or body, and to experience those of the space that is constructed and reconstructed from these elements.
