Building on the success of its premiere in November 2024, the Ballet de l'Opéra Grand Avignon is reviving this bold choreographic piece rooted in today's world.
Dominating the screens of a global stage, a showman without limits, Donald Trump, makes the race for the White House the triumph of showmanship. Martin Harriague, choreographer and director of dance at Opéra Grand Avignon, mischievously uses the simplistic rhetoric of the 47th President of the United States of America and plays on the paradox: the character is both entertaining and chilling.
The rusticity of the messages echoes the complexity of the world, the musicality of the language coats the coarseness of the words, the speech celebrates love and brute force, sings of pride while plunging the spectator into a dark night.
But as these words ring out like a death knell, the curtain rises on other tales: tales of hope, optimism and adventure of a colorful, confident America that breaks down walls. He wanted to capture the electric, tumultuous energy of this society in an explosive, jubilant dance, full of the unexpected!
