“Bal Impérial – Boléro” seamlessly blends an imperial waltz with Ravel’s mesmerizing Boléro. Created by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Damien Jalet, this work delves into the social and political roots of dance. The first segment, “Bal Impérial,” marks the bicentennial of Johann Strauss by juxtaposing Viennese music with Japanese percussion, all set in an evocative stage design and costumes by Tim Yip. The second segment, “Boléro,” revisits the 2013 choreography, presenting an intense, visceral dance to Ravel’s dramatic crescendo, enriched by artistic influences from Marina Abramović.

Who hasn’t, as a child, woken up in the middle of the night, disoriented, surrounded by mysterious shapes that might be monsters—or maybe friends? “Bachibouzouk”, by the Philippe Saire Company, brings that in-between world to life, blending dance and object theatre in a poetic, twilight performance where imagination takes over once the lights go out.
Back from the ashes like a mischievous phoenix, this stage adaptation of Hergé’s timeless comic hurls Bianca Castafiore’s shrill “Heavens, my jewels!” onto the boards and detonates a riotous, closed-door whodunnit inside the tranquil walls of Moulinsart: red herrings fly, misunderstandings snowball and Tintin’s entire gallery of eccentrics careen through a dazzling, hyper-faithful recreation of the album, where actors vanish into near-unrecognisable guises and the set itself crackles with playful theatrical sleight-of-hand—proof that some productions really do possess a magic, living soul of their own.
In French. Ages 7 and up.
