What is We Call It Ballet?
While ballet may be perceived as an elitist art form frozen in time, We Call It Ballet reinvents it while retaining its most important elements. For 60 minutes, you’ll be treated to a revisited interpretation of Sleeping Beauty, in which every movement of the dancers is enhanced by costumes adorned with LEDs that light up as the choreography unfolds. A blend of tradition and innovation, this performance offers total immersion in the world of ballet, but in a modern, accessible version of this timeless art form.
Ballet, its history and the show
Ballet comes directly from the Italian Renaissance, before being popularized in France by Catherine de Médicis. This complete art form combines dance, music and theater, and has survived the centuries to become a universal and timeless artistic expression.
On stage at Salle Paul Garcin, the dancers will bring the timeless story of Sleeping Beauty to life, to the iconic music of Tchaikovsky. And to enrich the experience, a narrator will intervene at intervals to put each scene in context, while the luminous costumes will change color, highlighting each movement and adding a spectacular visual dimension to this performance.
Join us in the Salle Paul Garcin, in the heart of the Presqu’île, for an evening where grace and innovation come together in an unforgettable ballet. Whether you’re a dance fan or simply curious to discover a new show, We Call It Ballet invites you to spend an unforgettable artistic evening in Lyon. However, as places are limited, we strongly advise you to book your tickets now if you don’t want to miss out on this unique experience.
