Zemmourballet at Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg, Grand Théâtre

As part of its commitment to talent development, the Théâtres de la Ville keep exploring new ways to provide exciting opportunities for local professionals. La Brisure des vases, a new original work by Nicolas Zemmour and his company zemmourballet – which will have its premiere at the Grand Théâtre – is an example of such a collaboration. Zemmour who studied the techniques and philosophy of Pina Bausch, is a former dancer of Angelin Preljocaj and also danced with the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow, will develop the piece in France and finish its creation during a two-week residency in Luxembourg. As part of this residency he will hold open rehearsals, dance workshops and a post-show discussion with the audience.

La Brisure des vases, a piece for 5 dancers including two dancers from Luxembourg, tells the story of a man who lives in a world where it rains constantly. He does know that another world exists where the sun shines but will he be able to leave everything behind to discover it?
