Informations et réservations sur www.operadeparis.fr/saison-18...
Deuxième œuvre d’Ohad Naharin à entrer au répertoire du Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris après Perpetuum en 2000, Decadance est une pièce forte et singulière. Lorsqu’il l’imagine, le chorégraphe célèbre ses 10 ans de création au sein de la Batsheva Dance Company en proposant un surprenant collage d’extraits de son répertoire. Dix séquences remaniées et enrichies offrent un large panel de la variété de son inspiration tout en interrogeant les lignes de force de sa recherche. Du 28 septembre au 19 octobre prochains, 38 danseurs du Corps de Ballet se jetteront dans l’arène. Alors qu’il les rencontrait pour la première fois en répétition en juin, Ohad Naharin nous a ouvert les portes des studios du Palais Garnier et nous a livré ses premières impressions… Au-delà des écoles et des styles, le corps en mouvement reste seul langage universel.

Decadance is the second piece by Ohad Naharin to enter the repertoire of the Paris Opera Ballet after Perpetuum in 2000, and it is a powerful and singular piece. When he imagined it, the choreographer was celebrating his 10 years of creation with the Batsheva Dance Company by proposing a surprising collage of extracts from his repertoire. Ten redesigned and enriched sequences offer a wide panel showing the diversity of his inspiration while questioning the strengths of his research. From September 28th to October 19th, 38 dancers from the Corps de Ballet will throw themselves into the arena. Whilst meeting them for the first time for a rehearsal in June, Ohad Naharin opened the doors of the Palais Garnier studios and gave us his first impressions... Beyond schools and styles, the body in motion remains the only universal language.

Being a fly on the wall in the growth of Ohad Naharin and for a period working in his dance company, I must say. Rarely did I come across an individual who leaves such an impact on the audience and the artists he works with. It was always challenging to understand Ohad's language. But what is unique and straightforward (in life?). Ohad brings a gift to those who want to invest. On the stage and off the stage. We have been lucky and unbelievably blessed. We received a gift we can use throughout life. Ohad never meant to keep it for himself.

Thanks for the clip. We really would enjoy to have more insight of your dancers and work at the POB.

I appreciate being able to see the musical credits at the end, but could not find the composer who wrote the marimba ensemble starting at 2.53. Does anyone know who wrote that marimba music? Would love to know!

There is a definite style which these dancers are keyed into. He may say that Gaga is not a technique or a style, but these kids are riffing off of someone else's licks.

[@diegomoreno5927]

I didn't know operas were this physical

[@marissaventre222]

This is the Paris Opera Ballet Company. It's a Ballet Company. :)

[@trafik-ii4ki]

This is such a generalization that it is not at all clear to me what his practice is.

Qué malo!!!

[@betsarama]

Sadly, there is something rather joyless and competitve about this class, this teacher. Dancers may feel freed up physically, but the atmosphere he creates is insecure; emotionally repressive.

[@TheLindafoxcat]

Something insecure and sad about gaga??! I find it so joyful, juicy, fun! it's the only dance i can dance. have u ever danced it or are you basing your opinion on this short clip?

[@trafik-ii4ki]

thank you, finally someone sees it besides me, a total dictator in the hall, an old school choreographer. I am completely annoyed by people who ask what kind of music they play, I don't understand what they want with that music, copy it or what????
