"OSKAR
In a field of tension between dynamic movement and profound stillness, an inner odyssey unfolds, filled with contrasts – longing and vulnerability, defeat and renewal. OSKAR tells the story of the courage it takes to confront oneself and transcend one’s own limits.
Choreography: Riva&Repele
Music: Dmitri Shostakovich, Johannes Brahms, Ruggero Leoncavallo
Costumes: Riva&Repele, Leïla Chételat"
"Mozart Tangos
Mozart Tangos was created through the artistic fusion of two choreographic works: M pour B and 7 Tangos from Notre Faust, united into a new, shared creation.
M pour B was created in Brussels in 1990 for King Baudouin’s birthday and choreographed to selected works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, while 7 Tangos from Notre Faust (1975) is based on Argentine tangos. Mozart’s refined elegance and the pointe work of the female dancers intertwine with the sensual intensity of Argentine tangos performed by male dancers, creating a poetic interplay full of contrasts.
Choreography: Maurice Béjart
Music: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Argentine tango
Costumes: Anna De Giorgi
Premiere: December 12, 1990, Théâtre de Beaulieu"
