| 10:30 | | The Nutcracker Choreography By M.Béjart. Béjart Ballet Of Lausanne
The Nutcracker
Choreography by Maurice Béjart
Recorded at the Châtelet theater
Music by P.I. Tchaïkovski
Colonne orchestra
Edmón Colomer, conductor
With the Béjart Ballet of Lausanne and
Damaas Thijs (Bim, the son), Elisabet Ros (Elle, the mother), Gil Roman (Marius Petipa, Mephistopheles), Juichi Kobayashi (Felix, the cat) and Yvette Horner (The Fairy Godmother, the Waltz of the Flowers).
Maurice Béjart sets the tone from the start: the ballet reminisces on the Christmases of his childhood in Marseille, with his beloved mother (portrayed by the ravishing Elisabet Ros) who died when he was only seven years old, and his personal heroes: Felix the Cat, Mephistopheles and Marius Petipa whom he imagines walking down the Canebière with small steps (petipa = petits pas). Sporting golf trousers, a dancer's briefs or a boy scout's shorts, young Maurice (aka Bim) depicts a world of fantasy, full of humorous cultural references.
This 'Nutcracker' contains a little bit of everything, with much wit and virtuosity, but remains above all a young boy's tribute to his mother and that of a choreographer to the art of dance.

| 01:30 | | Build An Ark at the Banlieues Bleues festival in Paris
Founded by the composer and arranger Carlos Nino, Build An Ark is a California collective of varying sizes in which talented young musicians rub shoulders with veterans of the Afro-jazz scene. Invited by the festival Banlieus Bleus, they revisit the utopian spirit of 1970s flower power, taking as inspiration the most inventive jazz of the period, the soul music impeccably interpereted by the baritone Dwight Trible, and pay a vibrant hommage to John Coltrane, 'slammed' by the griot Kamau Daa'oud. Love is everywhere! That is the credo of this combo, which was founded in the ruins of September 11, in reaction to the hateful climate of the time. Love is everywhere! is also a leitmotif for Vincent Berhault, juggler and performer from Seine-Saint-Denis who, after his poetic walks through Paris and its suburbs, rejoined the group on stage for an unforgettable happening. Los Angeles, Paris, Bobigny...Love is indeed everywhere! | |
