On the occasion of the Forsythe/Inger show that opens the 24/25 dance season, Ludmila Pagliero talks about the revival of Blake Works I and the creation of Rearray.

The Étoile dancer discusses William Forsythe's deconstruction and reconstruction of classical language. She recalls the studio rehearsals and the strong intellectual stimulation generated by such an approach to movement and space. 

Surprising in their deployment and playing with effects of rupture and contretemps, Forsythe's choreographies are at once an inventive exploration and a tribute to tradition.

Invited for the first time to create a piece for the Paris Opera Ballet, My'Kal Stromile follows in the footsteps of his mentor William Forsythe.

The choreographer explains the genesis of Word for Word and how he drew inspiration from classical dance steps to imagine his own language. In costumes by Chanel, his choreography strikes a balance between heritage and innovation.

My'Kal Stromile talks about his influences, his background and his relationship with music. Finally, he shares how he works in the studio with the Opéra dancers.

On the occasion of the Forsythe/Inger programme that opens the 24/25 dance season, Swedish choreographer Johan Inger presents his piece IMPASSE, which enters the Paris Opera repertoire.

He explains the scenographic ideas that inspired him for this ballet, in particular his desire to explore an increasingly cluttered and exotic space that closes up as it goes along.

He outlines the issues at the heart of IMPASSE, in particular the influence of the environment and technology on the future of humanity, and above all on young people.
