Description
Preljocaj : La Fresque (The Painting on the Wall)
La Fresque (The Painting on the Wall), masterful creation by Angelin Preljocaj: a ballet that transports the spectator beyond the boundaries of reality, to the heart of a thousand-year-old legend, where dance and imagination merge.
The famous traditional Chinese tale of La Fresque (‘The Painting on the Wall’) tells of two travellers who take shelter at a small temple, one of whom becomes so enraptured by the image of a beautiful girl in a fresco that he is transported into another dimension.
Angelin Preljocaj, one of France’s leading contemporary choreographers, explores this mysterious relationship between representation and reality with a spectacular and unforgettable ballet filled with dynamic action, emotive lyricism and powerful responses to the music of Nicolas Godin, one half of the celebrated music duo Air. La Fresque has been admired for its ‘breath-taking scenes’ (La Terrasse) and its ‘dark and splendid beauty’ (L’Humanité).
