About This Movie

Ukiyo-e - images d’un monde flottant is a fascinating exploration of transience, both in its thematic essence and visual storytelling. This piece by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, who's taken the reins at the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, feels like a living Japanese print, capturing the essence of a fleeting moment in a chaotic world. The atmosphere combines delicate movements with a hauntingly beautiful score that lingers in your mind. The pacing is gentle, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in the meditation on impermanence. The choreography, rich with layers, evokes a sense of nostalgia and reflection, making it distinct in its approach to both dance and music, almost like experiencing a dream that fades away.

Meditative atmosphere, introspective themes.Rich choreography with a focus on impermanence.Visually striking, reminiscent of traditional Japanese art.
