Each movement is both a precise and subtle evocation of the original work.

The four instruments offer a new color of harmonies, inviting us to rediscover the work in all its intimacy.

In this version, the choreographic gesture brings the word back to life, in the silence of the

singing gives it a new meaning.

Starting from the classicism of Mozart's music and the pointe technique, Estelle thwarts the codes, proposing a hybrid work while respecting the artistic purpose. To do this, she places her dancers in a contemporary energy and gesture, far from the academicism that one might expect from pointe work.

A contemporary dancer comes to breathe into this ensemble a blend of languages, all linked in the same search for pure emotion. This emotion is also born from the music present on stage, in close connection with the dancers, with a string quartet (Quatuor Adélys).

Here, dance, through the vital energy of the body, becomes the ultimate response to the inexorable questioning. The body exults the verb and Mozart's writing, theatrically inspired, musically brilliant, gives the gesture the impulses, the tensions and the dissonances sometimes.
Estelle Danvers, in her approach to such a masterpiece, in her listening to the dancer's body, in her work where musicality has a central place, preserves her taste for lines in search of the emotions that surface beneath the movements and transcends this song of the Dead into a dazzling Hymn to Life!
