New choreographic version by Gigi CACIULEANU
inspired by Antonio Vivaldi's music.
Texts by Marivaux
Production, lighting and scene changes by Dan Mastacan

Gigi CACIULEANU first created this work 9th January 1981 for the Opera Ballet of Lyon with Dan Mastacan's lighting, and Jacques Rapp's scenery.

The Lyon production was so successful after tours, and three successive repeats over three working seasons that Gigi CACIULEANU decided to present a second version at Rennes with his company. Other theatres throughout the world have asked Gigi CACIULEANU for this adaptation to include it in their repertory. The press has unanimously greeted this production as the finest and most finished chreographic version of Vivaldi's (an 18th Century Venitian Composer) "Four Seasons" associated with Marivaux's (18th Century French writer) intelligent word of expression. This is a major work, a remarkable composition, a land-mark in Gigi CACIULEANU's artistic career. Dan Mastacan's stage direction brings the 18th Century Venetian and Frenchman together in the delicate marriage of Dance and Theatre.

It would seem that the day of the ballet concert is now at an end. There are as many seasons as there are dancers, and successively they appear direspectful, anguished, derisory, ambitious, sensual, tender or simply funny. Perhaps there is a dancer in all of us ?...that we can discover !

INTERPRETED BY ALL THE COMPANY.
DURATION OF SHOW : 1h15 without interval.
