Ballet in three acts (1994)

Encore Screenings! In a French-style garden, four modern Cupids set the pace for romantic conquests. People seek each other out, flirt, observe each other, desire each other, refuse each other, but pride eventually gives way, releasing passions that have been repressed for too long.. Like the final pas de deux, where the bodies whirl around for a languorous kiss: a moment of grace that has become the signature of this ballet.

‘What has become of love today?’ asked Angelin Preljocaj in 1994, when he created Le Parc for the Paris Opera Ballet. Thirty years later, the world has changed again, but his timeless ballet has travelled around the world. Like the final pas de deux, where the bodies whirl around for a languorous kiss; a moment of grace that has become the signature of this ballet.

Please note programme change: this performance is conducted by Benjamin Shwartz. [updated 28 Aug 25]
