Opera Ballet Vlaanderen
Our Nature, Iustitia, Pie Jesu
Streamed on 29.04.2024 at 21h00 CET
Two dancers, yearning for human contact, face the impossibility of coming together. A personification of justice tries to free herself from her stone slumber. An intimate duet unfolds in Antwerp Cathedral. Our Nature, Iustitia and Pie Jesu are three poetic works choreographed by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and produced by Opera Ballet Vlaanderen during lockdown, as part of their #verbeeldingleeft (Imagination Lives) series. International Dance Day is an opportunity to rediscover these short and moving pieces on timeless themes.
