In a career spanning four decades, Angelin Preljocaj has covered a lot of ground in the dance world, dabbling in baroque, deconstructing classical while remaining definitively contemporary. From ballet to Karin Waehner, Merce Cunningham and Dominique Bagouet, the choreographer has cultivated a taste for adventure in motion. The company he started in 1984 has a rich repertoire that mingles music styles, visual arts and texts. In this program, the multiplicity of 2 results in infinite combinations, from pas de deux and duel to pair and shared aloneness. Take Annonciation (1995) where the choreographer “recreates” a tableau inspired by the theme of motherhood announced to Marie by the angel Gabriel. With the touch of a painter of bodies, Preljocaj delivers a highly expressive dance mixing ecstasy and softness. Un Trait d’union (1989) interrogates “the connections between things” like a stitch, a trait that will eliminate our essential solitude in a heartbeat”, Preljocaj explains. This quest for connection between two men over the music of Bach has an uncommon evocative power. Finally, Larmes blanches (1985) restages a kind of dangerous liaisons in successive motifs of pugnacious duality. Passion is here a cause of torment that dance illuminates with delicacy. Remarkable work.
