For the season’s first apéro ballet, the Japanese musicians of “Bal impérial”—Tsubasa Hori, Shogo Yoshii, and Kazutomi “Tsuki”—showcase their collaboration with Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and dancer Riley O’Flynn. The event takes place at the Foyer of the Grand Théâtre de Genève.
Pop energy, raw intensity, a touch of animality, and playful shifts in force. With live music and dancers moving around the audience, the beat spreads—visceral and physical. La Tendresse du ventre de la baleine explores the tension between individuality and collectivity, between identity, intimate desires, and the need to belong.
