With stage-sets designed by artists and video-makers, highly unusual costumes and original music composed by Nico Muhly, the audience can expect a fabulous treat. On the programme : “Reflections”, a ballet by Benjamin Millepied inspired by jewellery signed Van Cleef & Arpels, “Quintett” by William Forsythe and “Winterbranch” by Merce Cunningham.
