Clair de lune - Claude Debussy: the beloved French piano classic in a gravity-defying performance that reaches for the stars. Piano: Alexandre Tharaud (Warner Classics/Erato) Choreography/dance: Yoann Bourgeois, acrobat www.ccn2.fr Filmed and edited by Raphaël Wertheimer More for the Debussy centenary: www.debussy100.com "To create - to be creative - is to draw a door on the wall, and then open the door. 'Clair de lune' opens this door wide to transport us to a time where time doesn’t pass. That’s why we become children again when we listen to this music. Artists exploring ideas together become like childhood friends. Alexandre simply closed his eyes and we found each other, on the other side of the door." -Yoann Bourgeois

Beautiful and thoughtful. Funny that 'Only murders in the building' sending me here
Me too😅
I thought it'd take me ages to find the performance but I found it right away.
the same))
He makes it look to effortless. 👍
There was nothing “clumsy” about this. Stunningly beautiful and so much closer to real life than many I’ve seen.
Spot on!
Some of the most profound art I have ever experienced
Brilliant. He understands the mechanics of the trampoline so well and has made them entirely organic.
it's about the journey, not the destination. that's what i just got reminded of. they got barely 2-5 seconds up there at the top of the staircase, most of our lives are spent in the struggle to get somewhere and and not actually at the top. and even when we get to the top, no one gets to stay there, you've got to come back down, and/or climb another mountain. Ah! just got reminded of the myth of sisyphus too. this is beautiful, too beautiful. i'm glad i found it, thanks OMITB ❤
maybe this will help me gain some perspective next time I'm struggling with sthg and maybe even appreciate the struggle a little, or derive solace in the hope that if someone could create something beautiful out of that struggle, sthg good will come out of some of mine too. because ig that's what life is, struggle, falling over and over, even though we focus so much on trying not to fall. not saying one shouldn't try not to fall, but when we do inevitably fall as we will, focus on getting back up and rememember that that's what life is about, the struggling, the falling, the getting back up and keeping going, and all the beauty (and pain ig) that we create and life that we live and experience while doing that.
it's just..beautiful..
What a beautifully articulated observation. Thank you for sharing your insights about life publicly. It's enriching hearing how other human beings experience this magnificently complex journey. Hope you have a good year.
Watched many times. Still touched.
This is really really beautiful. I confess I prefer this choreography with a static camera, but still amazing!
이유도 모른채 끊임없이 계단을 오르려 하는 자체가 우리 삶의 모습 같음. 실패하면서도 도전을 반복하고 그 가운데 정해진 길이 아닌 다른 새로운 길을 찾아내어 마침내 목표에 도달하는 모습. 그럼에도 그 영광이 영원할 수는 없는 필연적인 운명. 어떻게 보면 참 덧없는데 어떻게 보면 무수한 의미를 부여할 수 있는 것 같음.
What horrible!
My late mother who passed away in 2017 played this song on the Piano and I knew when she died it would always remind me of her. When I watched this, I imagined that since my Mom's cancer had advanced to a terrible place, she was taking a lot of morphine and she floated in and out of both worlds. I imagined that when she passed, unconscious and under the influence of morphine and really, just not really wanting it to be her time and still feeling very connected to her body, she bounced back and forth between life and the next world in a similar way. Of course I cried thinking that while watching it. I believe since she lingered on, while not in her body, but still breathing, but lifeless and limp in her last hours, then opened her eyes one last time, this is what she tried to do, come back and come back and come back. She would resign herself and then fall back and try to go, but she just didn't want to. I know she left us eventually, but I believe her last hours were spent in trying to come back to us.
My condolences.
Amen.
I pray for your Mom🙏🏻
this is just so beautifully put, i can't imagine how painful it would've been, but i hope that through this song, this video, this comment, or something else, you found your peace.
My condolences man, she must be by God's side now 🙏, I hope you can find peace and happiness in your life again someday.
Danse magique. J'aime tout ce que fait Yoann Bourgeois. Beauté et originalité toujours au rendez vous.
just how life feels!
I have watched this again and again, transfixed, deeply moved. Have sent it to friends and family. One family member, a mime and dancer, said, "He found IT!" Yoann is totally graceful throughout. I love the wonder, the trying over and over and over, the reaching the top and being awed, then returning, exhausted, triumphant, to rest or die -- OMG. Thank you for this beauty!
Loved it. It represents how I feel every time I hear Clair De Lune. When I close my eyes, it feels like I'm flying and falling all at the same time.
Fake news.
This is the most grottesc and out of reason i have ever seen . A romantic clair de lune interpreted by a circus circus clown. Creazy and offensive for a ballet.
you did not understand anything about what the play is about and what it wants to interpret
Mesmerizing interpretation of one of the most beautifully ethereal pieces of music ever written. Thank you Yoann Borgeois for this unique, masterful and lovely performance.👏
The entirety of this mans story is absolute. Thank you for combing the last song I want to hear before I die with dance so beautifully. Every move with intention.
Steve Martin brought me here, so glad he did
-- De toutes les performances de Yoann Bourgeois, c'est celle que je préfère. C'est un très bel hommage à Claude Debussy. --
I was wondering if this was a metaphor for addiction recovery but only saw 8 steps at first, but then saw there are 12 at the end. It's really beautiful! Its depicts struggle in such a specific way, especially when pointing out how much work it is to get yourself back up after falling. Well done 💜🎶
It gives the free falling and wondering around abyss phase so intense.
Wow...I see that now. 8 steps at the top and then 4 at the bottom. Very perceptive of you, and such a great analogy :)
@@HeyItsFrankie- Yohan Bourgeois' dance "commented on *_the symbiotic relationship of dance with music."_* See my previous comment with the full description, from Laughing Squid's online magazine.
@Elizabeth Griswold - That may be what you got from it, but it has nothing to do with the 12 Steps recovery program, and there are *14 steps* (5+9), not 12. The dancer, Yohan Bourgeois has used this stage set-up with a trampoline for years, with different music and locales (including a field in France). His motivation for this piece with "Clair de Lune" was this:
"In honour of the Claude Debussy Centenary, slapstick dancer and comedian Yohan Bourgeois performed a brilliant, deliberately clumsy, acrobatic routine to a piano rendition of "Clair de Lune," flawlessly played by Alexandre Tharaud. Throughout the performance, Bourgeois bounced and tumbled off of reflexive surfaces in time to the music. Bourgeois commented on the symbiotic relationship of dance with music."

Correction: *Yoann Bourgeois
Absolute breath taking performance. on this delicately played miraculous pianopiece of Debussy. My heart just melted!
c'est un peu notre histoire à tous...on tombe, on rebondit, on grimpe au sommet, on retombe, on est au pied du mur...le tout etant de se relever petit a petit....de contempler quand on le peut encore et puis...s'en aller....c'est tellement fort et riche en émotion....merci.
Hauntingly beautiful. I feel there's a message on how man tries to conquer everything,even the moon,but is beaten by its lack of gravitational pull once he's on it. Nobody can conquer the moon, nature and there's a lesson there for man's indomitable desire to conquer.Fall down then, accept it and remember your place. In the light and sound of Debussy's
masterpiece.
I just thought it was some dude fucking around on a trampoline to music but whatever
Didn't know the meaning of SUBLIME until I heard this music!!!
quand on a la chance d'aimer la danse de Yoann Bourgeois et la musique de Claude Debussy c'est un pur bonheur pour les sens réunis, j'ouvre grand mes yeux et mes oreilles !
I think it’s a metaphor for all of us! We keep falling and bouncing back, falling and bouncing a little higher falling a little deeper but bouncing back again. I don’t have addictions that I know of but maybe I was just addicted to sadness and drama all of my life. Even now while I’m happy I fall. And I bounce back up. It’s our trials and tribulations and we have to keep standing back up and trying one more step. That includes addictions. None of us are perfect. We all keep bouncing up and down.
En mi opinion esta obra maestra representa el camino hacia el exito, el como por cosas de la vida caemos o incluso el como nos hundimos nosotros mismos en la miseria volviendo una y otra vez donde comenzamos, todo para llegar a nuestra meta, llegar a sentir aplauzos y elogios....como tambien critica, las cuales yo interpreto a los reflectores como el mundo, el mundo que no duda en juzgarte y poner atencion al mas minimo detalle, queriendote hacer desaparecer, esta vez volviendo a caer en lo mismo por tu propia cuenta, volviendo a donde empezaste, a donde eras feliz, sin la vista del mundo, admirando todo con simplisidad y descanso
❤️
Very poetic how the music is trying to hold him back. Very fantastic, well put together video. 😱
Yoann Bourgeois creates such beautiful cheography and performances:-)
Blown Away by this performance...so musical and heart wrenching! SENSATIONAL! xxx
Doesn't matter how hard the fall is , we should always try to get back up 👏🏻
Nonsense. Climbing stairs that lead nowhere is not for everybody, and not everybody gets stairs that are possible to climb. It happens. Don't be ashamed of falling. Don't be ashamed of jumping. You can stay down if you want. It's okay. Maybe you shouldn't get back up. Maybe nobody's going to let you get up, anyway. Maybe something else is better for you. Your choice is your choice.
I watched this and all I could think was that Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire would have appreciated the creativity and athleticism of the performance. Remarkable.
짧은 시간안에 작품의 뜻을 알게되고, 알게되면 이게 우리의 삶과 같음을 알고 눈물 짓게 됩니다.. ㅜㅜ
Vite ! Le retour des Arts Vivants. Nos âmes en ont besoin en cette pandémie !!!
this spoke to me. fighting to reach a goal, only to self sabotage. realizing i am and fighting to get back. beautiful.
Amazingly graceful
Merveilleux, extraordinaire, émouvant et touchant!
0:58 Me coming back home on a Saturday night.
Fascinating! I wonder how he can do that so gracefully!
Lindo de ver e ouvir. Para mim representa a vida que é cheia de altos e baixos.
Além disso, ao meu ver, a "cama elástica" representa a força de Deus nos levando para cima que é a escada.
Na vida se não nos agarrarmos a uma força superior, a luta vai ser grande e mesmo chegando ao topo, fim pode ser solitário .
Linda representatividade 🤍
Gracieux, original, et d'une grande éloquence, intelligence et précision : énorme !
Tellement beau et fort, pas d'autres mots !
Unbelievable!
OMG what a performance! absolutely perfect
Oliver Putnam makes me here. And as he said, it's brilliant!
Fake news.
Brillian it is not. It is boring. 💋s to you from Mars.
That was the most beautiful f**ing thing I've ever seen.
I know. I didn't expect to watch the whole thing. But I was captured and touched. It is the reality of life in one song. wow.
Just… 😍
How original !, ethereal and at the same time heavy.
Inspiring, wonderful, beautiful.
I NEED a " the making of" video of this gorgeousness, s'il vous plaaaaaaaait!!!
How grateful i am for the blessings to see, feel and hear. Thank you for sharing the beautiful work of art. 🙏💖🙏
OMG! I’ve never seen anything like this before. He is AMAZING 😍 Everything about it melts, just like a dream. He blew my mind. I felt my heart and my soul moving in my chest, like I was falling along with him. Wow ❤ What an amazing man.
Perfectly explains my life, music and all!! Perfecto!!
All the 60 bounces of Yoann Bourgeois are so artistic and elegant. The idea of the dance is excellently presented and textured into this performance by Alexandre Tharaud - giving classic masterpiece of Debussy's Claire de lune another new interpretation :)
SO beautiful, I was actually sobbing. Thank you.
So much between darkness and light is said, with this song and dance.
Surreal...
Sometimes I yield myself to the currents of life. Somehow, this reminds me of that

JK, I love and applaud the essence of your comment.
@@elisabettariva8552 QUE HORROR!
Humans are capable of such beauty.
Yes! That's important to remember right now, more than ever, as we grapple with such profoundly harsh challenges on a global scale.
this is a PERFECT interpretation of this piece ... i absolutely LOVE THIS. (I choreographed a duet & played this as a college project in the 80s) ... the timing and phrasing of the dancer here was exactly in line with my feelings about the piece. I LOVE the stairs -- it's always felt like stairs to me. and yes, the falling. yes yes yes! congrats, so lovely!
Gorgeous performance to (obviously) wonderful music.
Fake news.
I saw him when he joined Pink's performance on the BBC and researched him to this channel. Quite stunning and unique. Bravieux Bourgeois
My favourite contemporary dance ever
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
This is magical. Thank you.
This is so lovely and touching.
Incredible!! Thank you!! Gives the solitude of the piece even more depth... Bravo!!
amazing, mesmerizing, thank you!
So, effortless!👍👍👍
Beyond stunning ❤
Uma das coisas mais lindas que já vi
Que perfeição. Vejo toda a beleza dos sentimentos na coreografia ❤️. Sempre assisto em momento que estou pensativa.
My god, this is beautiful! Wow!
Absolutely Positively Beautiful and Brilliant. Bravo!!
Just magnificent.
I see a lot of people being funny in the comments and not everyone is happy about that. Think! These are people who are taking the first step into this world. It is likely to be a precarious one! However they decide to take it is better than not taking it at all!
Astounding choreography.
Stunningly. I'm left in tears.
Brilliant!🙏💜😢
Fake news. One great imbecility.
So I don't know how the heck this is a commercial but I really really like the music and the dancing.
I don't know if this suppose to be the message of this piece of art, but what take from it is a person try continuously struggling to get where they aiming for (in this case the top of the stairs). The person falls so many times but keeps getting back going up the same flight of stairs (I love the message that that conveys, to never give up and keep going). But when the person gets to the top of the stairs, they look down and back at how far they have come. The person gets relaxed and the moment the man sits down to rest, he instantly starts falling. Falling all the way back down at the beginning (and then dies?, I don't know, I think that's up for interpretation).
I think what this video is trying to say is to keep going towards your goal no matter how many times you fail. And once you achieve that goal don't stop, set another goal and keep going.
Another thing is notice how big that second flight of stairs that guy at the beginning was trying to climb? Compared to the first flight of stairs which was almost half the size of the second flight.
I think this is also a alternative message saying to take baby steps towards your goal. Never bite off more than you can chew or else you will over work yourself going up that long flight of stairs (or that big goal). And you will overwork self (and maybe die based off of how the video ended).
Your perspective on this is just wow, you simply but so thoroughly explained it and that is just amazing. You helped me understand this video and really motivate myself into reaching my goals, thank you.
Message? Not sure about any inherent message we're meant to divine from the performance; perhaps, in a terribly "modern" ( or even "post" so ) sense, you are free or maybe even encouraged to take from it what you will. : )
I think exactly the same.
:0
I agree with a lot of your analysis, but I think the message isn't that you should keep trying, but that death takes us all eventually. He stood on the top of his goals for a time, and sat and relaxed and got to rest for a moment. Then aging hit and he slowly went back to where he started. He wasn't particularly happy or sad during any part of it.
You should read about the Sisyphus myth, because it was an inspiration for this piece and has some close similiraties with your analysis.
That is simply beautiful!
Pure poetry in motion and sound. In grateful awe.
Fake news.
Wow! So very beautiful. Wow!
This is my one year olds favorite song and video. We watch it A-LOT.
AWESOME ..I LOVE IT ..WHAT SENSATION ♥ .......
What the human mind can conceive and what the human body can express !
Strange, sad and beautiful. Well done. Lighting was perfect.
What horrible!
Increíblemente bello!!!
Beautiful!
I wanted him to stay on top! But, well, such is real life.
Me too!!
Yes. I agree. This wasn't hollywood happy movie. It was just how we all feel about real life. Beautiful.
I wanted him to end up somewhere in the middle...where we most do...
WHAT HORRIBLE!
Super joli! Et bien pensé! Le trampoline renvoi la même énergie qu'on lui transmet, donc l'artiste peu remonter là où il a chuté! En même temps cela montre que la chute est relative et peu aussi vous propulser plus haut! Mais il y a là aussi un jeu avec l'apesanteur, la chute des corps, et le renversement de la masse! Merci du partage! Stéph.
Super! Love it!
Amazing... i mean waw. Reminded me of how one might lose himself while trying and trying over and over again. Never lose hope, always try but at the same time do not lose yourself in the process. The death scene at the end, this triumph and rest on the floor might also mean a self loss.
This process of recovery, struggle, simplicity in the scene... it's just life. wonderful.
MERVEILLEUX.
Beautiful
What artists👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Pure expression of love this ❤️
Fake news.
I laughed through the whole thing, especially the first bounce! Thank you for posting this! Loved it.
Spectacular!
Lovely! Thank you for sharing.
Magical
