Georges-Elie Octors

Recording of a performance by Ballet de l'Opéra national de Paris of the ballet on Music for 18 Musicians by Steve Reich, choreographed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.

Lost among strangers, a sensitive princess, a famous writer and an unwelcome devil try to find their place in an unfamiliar world. With his accessible and willingly facetious music, French composer Gérard Pesson has created an operatic adventure through three fairy tales. Their marvels are treated with fantasy and delicacy by librettist and director David Lescot.

A short film for three pairs of hands and three tables, based on a notable composition by the director.
