LO SPETTACOLO

Choreographer Angelin Preljocaj draws inspiration from the founding myth of Siddharta for the original new work that he is offering the Paris Opera Ballet.

He revisits the saga of the one who would become the Awakened One, or Buddha, bringing a personal interpretation exploring the themes of new challenges, ordeals, and sacrifices in the quest for an absolute. Moving beyond mere narrative, he reveals the torments and mysteries of a long inner journey riddled with pitfalls, uncertainties, and doubts. Preljocaj shares his journey with two artists with strong personalities : the brilliant, young French composer Bruno Mantovani, and Claude Lévêque, the visual artist and scenographer, with his powerful ability to dream up new spaces for our time.
