Subscribe NowChoreographer Thierry Malandain offers a fresh perspective on Antonio Vivaldi's renowned ''Four Seasons'' by pairing it with Giovanni Antonio Guido's lesser-known composition of the same name.
In this innovative ballet, Malandain explores the intricate relationship between humanity and nature, using the contrasting works of Vivaldi and Guido as a rich musical framework. While Vivaldi's celebrated interpretation is embodied by a full corps of dancers in black, Guido's lesser-known piece is brought to life by a small quartet of dancers adorned in colorful, baroque-inspired costumes.
Malandain seamlessly weaves together these two distinct works, highlighting their unique qualities and creating a captivating visual and auditory experience. With their signature precision and form, the dancers of Malandain Ballet Biarritz radiate lively energy, breathing life into these timeless compositions.
