Rain: Paris Opera Ballet

About the Event

Witness a powerful, stripped‐down work of great sensitivity by a key figure of contemporary dance. Created in 2001 for the Rosas dance company, "Rain" is now part of the Paris Opera Ballet repertoire and is regarded as one of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's major works.

The Flemish choreographer invites the dancers to weave a close relationship with the music, their organic movements rooted in Steve Reich's minimalist "Music for 18 Musicians", performed by the Ictus Ensemble. On stage, music and dance sweep the performers along in a perpetual surge of movement, a dizzying and joyful race.
