Don Quichotte

Valide

Don Quixote invites the viewer to immerse themselves in a festive and colorful Spain. A real treat… This large format ballet which lasts more than two hours, passes in the blink of an eye as it is playful and captivating. Éric Vu-An offers us a choreography that pays homage to the great classical tradition and perfectly highlights the talent of its performers. And talent, it takes to overcome this monument of the repertoire! Éric Vu-An knows this well, he who was hired at the age of nineteen by Nureyev to play the role of Basilio in Don Quixote in 1981.. Looking closely at the career of the current Artistic Director of Ballet Nice Méditerranée, we understand his attachment to Cervantes' knight-errant. He too chose, at one point, to travel the wide world, renouncing a sedentary career, to participate in galas, tread the boards of mythical theaters and share his dreams with the great artists of the world of dance. His version of Don Quixoteis also made up of passions and twists. It closely intertwines the fate of the famous windmill slayer with those of the charming Kitri and her young lover Basil. Unfortunately, the girl's father wants to marry her off to a wealthy noble and throws our two lovers into a story full of adventures and misunderstandings. The pantomime is delicious and the show declines all that academic dance has to offer.
