流浪藝人•都市芭蕾 Les Forains,Ballet Urbain

八位街舞好手重新詮釋1945年的熱門芭蕾舞劇《流浪藝人》，詩人導演高克多(Jean Cocteau)當年曾譽之為一場「真切的青春與舞蹈盛典」。這個描述流浪藝人在市集表演的精彩節目，在二戰結束後重燃了人們渴求生命的熱情，歌頌流浪藝人的技藝，仍然吸引著今天的表演藝術家。「變革舞團」 創辦人安東尼‧艾朱亞 Cie Rêvolution / Anthony Egéa，試圖重現原劇作曲家亨利‧索格的詩意境界，並邀請香港城市室樂團 City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong 在台下演奏，現場又配以DJ Frank2Louise 的電子音樂。

Eight hip hop dancers revisit the successful ballet Les Forains in 1945, as a tribute to this “true festival of youth and dance” (Jean Cocteau). The story about wandering artists doing their fabulous routine in a fair is the very expression of a life taking back its natural rights after a world war, and it still fascinates the performing artists of today. Anthony Égéa Cie Rêvolution / Anthony Egéa from Compagnie Rêvolution tries to restore the poetic dimension of composer Henri Sauguet’s work, with the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong playing the ballet score, mixing with DJ Frank2Louise’s electronic music.
