Lyon Opera Ballet

Limb‘s Theorem
by William Forsythe

The Lyon Opera Ballet has enriched its repertoire with William Forsythe’s early career works at the Ballett Frankfurt, including Steptext, Love Songs and Second Detail. The company, whose extraordinary chemistry is very much in the spirit of Forsythe, will perform for the first time in Greece the famous triptych Limb’s Theorem (1990). The work constitutes a turning-point in Forsythe’s quest, and echoes his desire to break free of the conventions of classical ballet in terms both of idiom and the architecture (space, sound and lighting) of a piece. The dancers’ frenzied motion and knife-edge equilibria at first hand, the constantly disjointed rhythm and the discontinuity of the landscape into which the bodies diffuse until they disappear entirely, makes his dance a sensorial experience that goes beyond narration.
