With this final gala, organised in close collaboration with the Paris Opera, Les Rencontres Musicales d’Évian reaffirm their commitment to ensuring dance plays a prominent role at La Source Vive. The dancing body traverses the free and multicultural movement of the Belgian-Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and the virtuosity of the Cuban company Acosta Danza. It then is infused with the neo-classical aesthetic inspired in Jean-Guillaume Bart by Ravel’s piano music, embodied by Roxane Stojanov and Antonio Conforti. We see them again in Christopher Wheeldon’s final pas de deux, created for the New York City Ballet, introduced by a solo from Viola Ymeri, the first winner of the prize established by Roxane Stojanov to showcase the new generation of dancers from North Macedonia.
