Canadian ballet star Guillaume Côté draws inspiration from the myth of Ulysses to embark his five dancers on an odyssey of elegance and technical prowess.
What if traveling was, above all, a quest for self-discovery? Evoking the long and perilous journey of Ulysses, who took ten years to return to his homeland and loved ones, Côté Danse’s new work explores the conflicting desires that drive us both to seek the haven of familiarity and to venture towards unknown horizons. Merging the vocabulary of classical ballet with contemporary forms, Guillaume Côté succeeds in giving the legendary tale a strikingly modern resonance and, once again, demonstrates his exceptional technical mastery and ability to touch the heart of the human experience.
