The Opera de Lyon Ballet demonstrates consummate artistry in a triple bill that marks William Forsythe’s return to Chaillot.
A wonderful repertoire contemporary dance company, the Opera de Lyon Ballet is also at the forefront of creative work. The two works by master William Forsythe and the new production by choreographer Fabrice Mazliah – who is also a regular collaborator of the Forsythe Company – provide another example. The former presents Quintett, a poignant ode over “Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet” by Gavin Bryars, and One Flat Thing, reproduced, a beautiful demonstration of organized chaos from and on rectangular tables. The latter, a lover of experimentation who has created several pieces for Nederlands dans Theater, will present his latest work, backed by the compositions of the collective kling klang klong (Johannes Helberger & Maurice Mersigner) and the vocals of the six dancers directed by performer.
