This is one of the very best new ballet productions to be staged in recent years. As I said before, Preljocaj has a refreshing style that mixes modern dance with military precision in larger formations with unusual props and concepts, here including even a magic trick. Above all, he is a genius at displaying feminine sexuality in a slick, tasteful way.

This abstract production has no through-story. It treats 23 ancient and modern myths in separate scenes without a break: (1) Premiers Mouvements, (2) Le Catch . . .
