Lara Barsacq is once again turning to the Ballets Russes at the start of the 20th century for inspiration, paying homage to one of its underrated creators, Bronislava Nijinska, who created the choreography for Les Noces to a score by Igor Stravinsky. This ballet stages the marriage of a peasant couple and the preparations of the young bride, in tears at the thought of this future union. Lara Barsacq takes this story and evokes femininity, rites of passage and the freedom of dancing bodies.
