Limb’s Theorem

"Limb's Theorem" is a three-act ballet choreographed by William Forsythe, first presented by the Frankfurt Ballet in 1990. The ballet was created in a period of exploration, when the focus was on generating new movements, new ways of expressions through dance. The first part of the ballet, "Limb's 1" starts with dancers appearing in the dark at night threatened, facing the world with its obstacles. Lightening, explosive sounds, and an ever-changing landscape of dancers represent the chaos and the order, which is amplified in the second part of the ballet "Enemy in the Figure". The piece created in 1989, has been presented alone as well, and it is one of the greatest works of William Forsythe. The ballet ends with the third piece, in which the focus is on the male chorus line with slower jazzy moves and solos.

The theatrical piece was presented by the Lyon Opera Ballet in 2005, as part of their repertoire.
