Blanca Li´ s next choreographic creation with her company is Le Jardin des Délices, inspired by Hieronymus Bosch´s famous painting. The first presentation will be at Montpellier Danse on 19 June, opening the renowned festival. The production will then move on to Paris´s Théâtre des Champs Elysées.
"(...) I have always wanted to give movement to this pictorial
expression of a place where hell mingles with paradise, satire with
morality, where the obsession with sin and salvation reaches an
unequalled force." Blanca Li
"Blanca Li is one of today´s most interesting and cutting-edge
choreographers ... The world of Blanca Li is a creative melting pot,
filled with subtle and fantastic images..."
