An evening where contemporary dance meets classical ballet, from March 27 to April 18 at the Opéra Garnier.

After Faunes, Israeli choreographer Sharon Eyal returns to theOpéra national de Paris with her first creation on pointe. She adapts OCD Love, a piece created in 2015, inspired by a text by American poet and slammer Neil Hilborn, which evokes obsessive-compulsive disorders and their impact on love relationships. Through hypnotic, organic dance, she explores the difficulty of loving and the complexity of human connections, carried by the visceral energy that characterizes her work.

As a counterpoint, Swedish choreographer Mats Ek presents Appartement, a work in which dance invites itself into the ordinary. Bidets, televisions and stoves become elements of decor and expression, reflecting the solitude and absurdities of everyday life with humor and poetry. From the armchair solo to the pas de deux and the vacuum cleaner jig, the ballet's energetic gestures are set to the percussive music of the Fleshquartet, offering an offbeat and deeply human vision of social interaction.
