Angelin Preljocaj?s "Requiem(s)" is a deeply moving, intimate and universal creation, in which the emotions of mourning - sadness, anger, light - mingle with the celebration of memory and human resilience. More than a lament, this ballet transforms the requiem into a vibrant tribute to Life.
On stage, nineteen dancers traverse a succession of powerful tableaux, reinventing funeral rites with precise, expressive gestures. From the astonishment of the first tableau to the alternation of fragility and power, the choreography alternately embraces contemplation and lightning flashes, making the bodies the bearers of a transcended humanity.
The music, rich and contrasting, blends Mozart?s "Requiem" with contemporary electro and rock compositions, creating an emotional breath between introspection and boundless energy. Immersive scenography, delicate lighting, poetic videos and the voice of Gilles Deleuze combine to make "Requiem(s)" a tribute to Life and Art as a force for resilience.
