Play, Palais Garnier, Paris: 28 September-6 November 2021

Swedish choreographer Alexander Ekman's first piece for the Paris Opera Ballet, Play premiered in December 2017. The choreographer transforms the stage of the Palais Garnier into a genuine playground and plunges the spectator into childhood to an original score by Mikael Karlsson. An infectiously energetic production, Play combines dance, theatre, music and song in a festive, sometimes burlesque spirit, full of humour and often thoughtful.
