It’s not because star choreographer Benjamin Millepied left the management of Paris Opera that he forgot France and Paris. With his Los Angeles-based company, the L. A. Dance Project, he’s coming back to the French capital and at Théâtre des Champs-Elysées to present three pieces including one performed for the first time in France;
Yag is a piece for 4 dancers created by Ohad Naharin, head of Israeli company Batsheva Dance Cie, fallen into L. A. Dance’s repertoire in 2017. The creation is based on sensations entailed by interprets’ movements. Will be performed as well as the piece Second Quartet, choregraphed by Noé Soulier and Chaconne (Part 1) by Benjamin Millepied on a music by Back and it will be the first time this piece is performed in France.
