The grand jeté has unsuspected philosophical meaning. Starting with this virtuoso ballet movement, Silvia Gribaudi serves up a show that celebrates the courage it takes to leap into the unknown.
One of the most virtuosic jumps in classical dance, the grand jeté is consequently often reserved for triumphant final scenes. But no matter how much skill is needed to fly majestically through the air, we are all doomed, one day, to fall to earth. But is that a tragedy? In this new piece, created and danced with MM Contemporary Dance Company, Silvia Gribaudi transposes this movement’s metaphorical meaning to everyday life. The Italian choreographer, whose impish humour is her calling card, delivers a show that rebels against the irreversibility of endings foretold and promises an optimistic future. Gribaudi, whose artistic research is focused on bodies’ social impact, is convinced that each ending contains the seed of something new; and that the courage to leap into the unknown should be celebrated, whatever the odds of failure. So, are you ready for your own “grand jeté”?
