IN MEMORIAM - CORE MEU

Cherkaoui & Maillot

For the second performances of "L’Été Danse!", edition 2021, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo will invite us on a journey. Two pieces, IN MEMORIAM, choreography by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and CORE MEU, choreography by Jean-Christophe Maillot.

In Memoriam by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, the departed become memory... In truth, the presence of the dead persists only through the memories they leave with the living. Some archaic rituals take the form of dances in honour of the dead... This bond between reality and memory is at the heart of In Memoriam. Accompanied onstage by the A Filetta group, steeped in the Corsican oral tradition, the dancers explore movements of attraction and repulsion, illustrating how gestures of gentleness and violence remain deeply ingrained in our bodies.

Core Meu by Jean-Christophe Maillot offers a high-level meeting between the Apulian Tarentella and a fine- tuned ballet company. This piece renews the art of this traditional dance, opening up new horizons for classical dance. Once again, Jean-Christophe Maillot brings the academic vocabulary in stride with the times with this jubilant choreography ideally served by Antonio Castrignanò and his orchestra’s perfect rendition of the music of Salento.
