ROH BALLET : SWAN LAKE
Lors d'une partie de chasse, le prince Siegfried aperçoit par hasard un troupeau
de cygnes. L'un d'entre eux se transforme en la belle Odette et il est
immédiatement séduit. Mais Odette est liée par un sort qui la maintient captive
en tant que cygne pendant la journée. Siegfried peut-il la libérer ?
La partition sensationnelle de Tchaïkovski s'allie à l'imagination évocatrice du
chorégraphe Liam Scarlett et du concepteur John Macfarlane pour exalter le
pathos dramatique du ballet classique par excellence de Marius Petipa et Lev
Ivanov.

MET OPÉRA : LA RONDINE
Parfois comparée à La Traviata pour son histoire d'amour douce-amère entre une
courtisane et un jeune homme idéaliste de bonne famille, La Rondine n’en possède
pas moins sa propre singularité, sublimée par la magnifique production
d'inspiration Art déco de Nicolas Joël.
Opéra en trois actes

MURDERESS
SYNOPSIS:
Early 1900’s on a Greek island. Hadoula, who lost her husband at a
young age, is a woman who has learned to survive in a male –
dominated and extremely patriarchal society, the hard way.
Hadoula carries a difficult burden within her. Like a baton passed
on to her from her mother and the previous generations, she is
supposed to accept the devaluation and lower fate of women.
But Hadoula reacts. Her personal, internal, bubbling revolution is
soon externalized. The victims of her outburst are the little girls of
the island, whom she sets free from the social and economic
burden that their existence entails… by taking their lives. Her
actions will bring her face to face with the authorities. Forcing her
to leave her home and escape to her refuge, nature. As much as
her faith and morals dictate that she has done the right thing, her
transgenerational trauma follows her everywhere. The end comes
as a redemption.
The story is based on Alexandros Papadiamantis’ “social novel” of
the same name, a landmark of Greek literature.

DIGNITY
Summary
Mr. Dimitris, an 80-year-old man, after his wife’s death, has left the village
to live in the city with his son and daughter-in-law. On account of his
birthday, however, his son calls the other family members to tell them that he
is no longer able to take care of him. Another solution must be found, requiring
that everyone should take their responsibility. Secrets and mistakes of the past
will then come to the surface, something that upsets the family and leads to an
inevitable dramatic finale.
Director’s Note
“Dignity” is taking place inside the four walls of a flat. The claustrophobic
environment as well as the camera that moves constantly and close to the heroes
increase the intensity of the moment and create asphyxiation.
The one and only location captures our gaze without giving us the chance to take
a breath due to the fast pace.
What matters is not what is said, but what is artfully hidden. Many important
phrases are heard off-camera, thus giving the sense of the unexpected and the
incidental.
The extremely low budget of 63K alloted to the making of this DIY film was no
obstacle for the director’s vision to create his first full-length film. The use
of one-takes, the absolute freedom of the frame throughout its duration, as well
as the many methodical rehearsals/improvisations of the actors that took place
on the set before the shooting days, are elements that contribute to the
depiction of a realistic universe.
