What to expect
Some performances are simply watched. Others are fully experienced and leave a lasting impression on the minds of spectators. Concerto danzante undoubtedly belongs to the second category. This ambitious creation brings together leading artists to offer an experience where music and movement become one. Between musical heritage and contemporary creation, this artistic event offers a captivating journey that will appeal to both classical music enthusiasts and contemporary dance lovers.
Presented in the prestigious Grande Seine at La Seine Musicale, in Boulogne-Billancourt, this performance invites audiences to discover a new way of approaching the concerto. Far from a traditional interpretation, this creation transforms the stage into a space of constant dialogue between musicians and dancers. Every note, every movement and every light contribute to building an immersive world where emotions come to life.
Concerto danzante: when baroque music meets the energy of contemporary dance
An extraordinary artistic encounter
Concerto danzante was born from the desire to bring together two forms of expression which, despite their apparent differences, share the same universal language: that of emotion. On one side, the timeless works of great baroque composers. On the other, contemporary choreographies that offer a new reading of these iconic scores.
This encounter creates a fascinating dynamic. Music does not simply serve as an accompaniment to dance: it becomes a true partner in the performance. Movements respond to melodies, extend rhythms and give a visual dimension to works that have crossed centuries without losing their power.
Two complementary creations
The performance consists of two distinct worlds that respond to each other with intelligence.
The first part, Garbo, created by Josépha Madoki, offers a bold approach combining Vivaldi’s universe with the energy of waacking. This urban dance style, known for its expressiveness and theatrical quality, brings a surprising freshness to baroque compositions. The result is vibrant, modern and particularly spectacular.
The second part, Ad Vitam aeternam, created by Maud Le Pladec, takes the audience into a deeper exploration of the concerto’s universe. Through powerful and carefully crafted choreography, this creation highlights the full emotional richness of Bach’s music. The movements then become a natural extension of the sounds, creating a remarkable harmony between the artists on stage.
Exceptional performers
One of the major strengths of this performance lies in the quality of its artistic cast. Les Arts Florissants, an internationally renowned ensemble, bring their recognised expertise in the interpretation of the baroque repertoire. Their presence guarantees a musical performance of great refinement.
Under the direction of violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte, the musicians bring a contagious energy that runs throughout the entire performance. Their interpretation on period instruments makes it possible to rediscover the authentic sound colours of the works while giving them a surprisingly contemporary force.
Alongside them, the dancers of the CCN – Ballet de Lorraine demonstrate remarkable technical and artistic mastery. Their commitment on stage helps make each scene a unique and memorable moment.
A rich and inspiring musical programme
Audiences will have the pleasure of rediscovering works from the European baroque heritage. The compositions of Jean-Sébastien Bach and Antonio Vivaldi occupy a central place in the performance, but they are also accompanied by pieces from other major composers such as Legrenzi, Uccellini, Lambranzi and von Westhoff.
This musical diversity allows different atmospheres and emotions to unfold throughout the evening. The selected works perfectly illustrate the richness and modernity of the baroque repertoire.
