Les Ballets C De La B - pitie!

Les Ballets C De La B

Work:: Les Ballets C De La B (S1590193638)

Les Ballets C de La B is one of the great dance companies. It specialises in hard-hitting and often political (notice the lower case) physical theatre.

Production:: pitie! (T0536514306)

Alain Platel, founder of Les Ballets C. de la B., is renowned for creating challenging, provocative works - from the emotionally charged vsprs in 2006, to Wolf in 2004 (which included 14 dogs on stage). This latest production, pitié!, reunites Platel with vsprs composer Fabrizio Cassol to create an intense study of Bach’s extraordinary composition Matthew Passion. Platel’s daring reinvention of Bach’s ‘untouchable’ masterpiece explores our ability to sympathise by approaching the central story of the crucifixion from the perspective of the mother. By working extensively with a cast of ten dancers over a period of months, Platel questions the limits of the individual’s ultimate sacrifice: himself.
