Les Ballets C de la B-Alain Platel & Fabrizio Cassol
pitié!
In his first ever visit to Greece, Alain Platel, the inspiration behind the collective les ballets C de la B, celebrates the 25th anniversary of this extraordinary venture, which shook the stereotypes of the dance world, with his latest work pitié! (2008).
Using J.S. Bach’s masterpiece St Matthew Passion as their starting point, Platel and his musical accomplice, Fabrizio Cassol, have created a choreographed poem that celebrates love.
On stage, ten dancers, four singers and seven musicians weave a series of colourful tableaux vivants oscillating between sensuality and contemplation, desire and compassion.
