Du bout des lèvres

Description

Benjamin Millepied dives into Barbara's universe for his new choreographic creation. An artistic journey filled with delicacy and passion, carried by the voice and words of an icon.
Marked from childhood by French chanson, Benjamin Millepied draws from this intimate memory an impetus for dance nourished by Barbara's powerful melodies and crafted words. Through a minimalist space, bathed in light and pristine drapes, bodies appear and disappear, embodying the spectrum of emotions that traverse the singer's work — nostalgia, passion, tenderness, and tragedy. In Du bout des lèvres, songs become the very breath of movement. Like Brahms' Liebeslieder Walzer or Balanchine's grand ballets, the waltzes resonate in dance as a celebration of life. The choreographer evokes a raw humanity, a vibrant poetry, faithful to the intensity of one of the most moving voices of the 20th century.
