French performing arts and Thierry Malandain transition

Overview

The French performing arts scene is highlighted by various productions, including Thierry Malandain’s final program, ‘Temps d’aimer’, at the Théâtre des Champs Élysées. This program features his interpretations of ‘L’Oiseau de feu’ and ‘Boléro’. Other regional highlights include productions in Rennes, Fougères, and Vitré involving works by Molière, Victor Hugo, and Mozart.

In a significant leadership change, choreographer Thierry Malandain announced he will step down as director of the Malandain Ballet Biarritz on December 31. Having founded the National Choreographic Center in 1998, Malandain leaves a legacy of neo-classical works. While he no longer intends to create new pieces, he plans to focus on mentorship through his reactivated company, Temps présent, with upcoming performances of ‘Une dernière chanson’ and ‘Nocturnes’ scheduled.
