International Contemporary Dance Festival DanceInversion celebrates its 20th anniversary! During these years Moscow has welcomed almost 90 choreographers as well as numerous professionals from: 5 continents and the Islands of New Zealand, Ireland and Cuba, 30 countries, 78 companies. The Festival's mission has always been the discovery of new names and new styles of dance art. DanceInversion remains true to this ethos and includes the names of both professional artists and exciting newcomers. The ballet, created by a tandem of choreographers – Gabriela Carrizo and Franck Chartier (of Belgian company Peeping Tom), tells a story about life under extreme conditions. The absurdity of everyday life, fears, nightmares and loneliness of the characters are exposed in the crooked, bent and twisted bodies of dancers. The harmony of Neoclassicism disappears, airy pirouettes are replaced by falls and instead of perfect lines there are broken angular movements. This performance, staged by one of the most famous dance companies in the world, the Ballet of the Lyon Opera, like a mirror, reflects the problems of modern Europe. Helikon Opera |
