Éternelle Idole, Young Directors Project: Salzburg Festival

Sobre o Evento

The Salzburg Festival Young Directors Project presents 'Éternelle Idole' in a coproduction with the French choreographer and director Gisèle Vienne.

Éternelle Idole stages a young figure skater whose teenage looks evoke the ghost of a murdered Lolita. A skating rink is one of those emotionally charged sites that, during adolescence, often impact our common experience. The awkward entanglement of feelings is emblematic of adolescence and indicative of transitory periods. Éternelle Idole elicits the fluctuation that happens between an individual’s fragility and aspirations. In this sense, characters performed in the realm of figure skating can compellingly embody the beauty of these intermediary spaces.  

Realization with the help of Le Quartz – Scène Nationale de Brest. Guest Play of the Company DACM.

Coproduction with Le Quartz – Scène Nationale de Brest, Centre Choréographique National de Montpellier Languedoc Roussillon.
