Commissioned for the Lyon Opera Ballet
Intent
At the invitation of the Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon, Yuval Pick returns to the place where he was a dancer from 1999 to 2001. Yuval Pick is the choreographer and director of the CCN de Rillieux. He has developed a unique language of movement; through the memory of bodies, the invention of forms, and the experience of space, the choreographer touches on the essence of his art: emotion.
In this new piece Yuval Pick summons the emotions of the performers and audience, giving rise to a “body of the heart”, as one might call a corps de ballet, and rediscovering the “flesh of the world”. He seeks to unveil the multiple layers that constitute a corps or body, and to experience those of the space that is constructed and reconstructed from these elements.

“My choreographic research is guided by the idea that each human-being has innate knowledge that dance has the power to unveil.” Yuval Pick
