 This
autumn, the NNTT will invite the Ballet Preljocaj, a ballet company representing
nouvelle dance in France, to Tokyo. The company was established by choreographer
Angelin Preljocaj in 1984 and is constantly developing creativity focusing
on contemporary dance. "Violent" dances that use dancers' bodies to their
limits evoke sympathy and a feeling of familiarity in the minds of the
audience, as well as depict the vulnerability of being human. The company
has taken the initiative in spreading French nouvelle dance in Japan and
has influenced many artists in the country. In the forthcoming performances,
two works, which were premiered by the Ballet Preljocaj in 2001 and won
high praise throughout Europe, will be presented. The company will participate
in the "france danse 03" festival to be held throughout Japan. See one
of the world's top-notch dance companies demonstrate its powerful dancing! |
| HELIKOPTER
The music is Helikopter-Streichquartett (Helicopter String Quartet),
composed by Karlheinz Stockhausen. Six dancers confront powerful,
mechanical rhythms created by the sound of a helicopter's rotors
and four violins. They dance unrelentingly in the midst of images
cast on the floor, and the movements of their bodies constantly
try to ascend, becoming increasingly violent.

| LE
SACRE DU PRINTEMPS
This work was created at the commission of Daniel Barenboim, Music
Director of the Staatsoper Unter den Linden. In the past, a number
of first-class choreographers have undertaken the choreography of
Le Sacre du Printemps by Igor Stravinsky, but Preljocaj overturns
previous interpretations of the work and depicts with overwhelming
intensity acts that give life to us. His frank and modern choreography
combines with the music to captivate viewers. Le Sacre du Printemps
is a high-profile dance work that has already won critical acclaim:
"It is wonderful in all respects. It captures the hearts of the
audience with overwhelming power."

Preljocaj, Choreographer>
Angelin Preljocaj was born in Paris in 1957. After working with Dominique
Bagouet's ballet company, he established his own ballet company in
1984. The following year he won the Ministry of Culture prize at the
Concours International de la Choregraphique a Bagnolet for his first
choreography Marche Noir (Black Market). The Ballet Preljocaj is now
based at the Centre Choregraphique National in Aix-en-Provence and
is touring the world with its repertoire consisting of Preljocaj's
works. His creations cover a wide range of areas, including providing
choreographies at the commission of the Ballet de l'Opera National
de Lyon, Ballet l'Opera de Paris and New York City Ballet. |
