Les Nuits

Various sceneries are outlined against the light of a backdrop with changing colors. A palace, a jail-city are being constructed in front of the audience. The vertical lines of the movable moucharabieh seem to keep the dancers in as many cages. As the death of Sheherazade is postponed every day by her tales, the jail bars are elastic bands continually stretched by the dancers. A play of light and shadows, this stage design is the result of a new team work with Angelin Preljocaj, begun in 2009 with the show Le Funambule.
