IN MEMORIAM - BACK ON TRACK 61

The presence of the dead persists only through our memories... This observation is the theme of In Memoriam by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Marrying the Corsican songs of A Filetta, the dancers explore how gestures of gentleness and violence remain deeply ingrained in our bodies. Time passing... a subject which is obviously at Back on Track 61, the new creation by Jean-Christophe Maillot who is approaching his 61st birthday with his characteristic joie de vivre and his thirst for creation still intact.
