National Ballet of Canada
Théâtre des Champs-Élysées

From October 12 to 15, the Théâtre des Champs Élysées presents its TranscenDanses series and invites Canadian choreographer Crystal Pite for the French premiere of her piece Angels’ Atlas.

It was created for the Ballet of Canada in 2020 and showcases once again the choreographer’s powerful idiom in which movement is a whole body experience for dancers. Each limb is a separate entity powered by extraordinary energy and enhanced by particularly effective use of light in both “pas de deux” and ensemble elements. Themes of life, death, the quest for the infinite, and universal issues speak to us not only as individuals but also collectively. 

Two additional works by Canadian choreographers James Kudelka and William Yong will also have their French premieres at this performance.

Coproduction by International Productions Albert Sarfati and Théâtre des Champs-Elysées
