The Professional Dance School of the Greek National Opera presents the performance Metamorphosis under the guidance of its Head of Studies, Yorghos Matskaris. The School’s students will be tested on a demanding diptych of contemporary dance featuring choreographies by Cyril Baldy and Jesús Rubio Gamo. The internationally acclaimed French dancer and choreographer Cyril Baldy revisits his choreography With Love and All That, which was first performed at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris. With Love and All That – ACT II explores the essence of dance, drawing on classical ballet as a foundation to shape thoughtful, carefully constructed choreographic landscapes. Originally conceived as a three-act work, ACT II focuses on dynamic group formations in which structure, momentum, and shifting spatial patterns drive the choreography. The piece seeks to reconnect with the raw, expressive power of movement, offering a contemporary take on ballet’s timeless beauty. The internationally acclaimed Spanish choreographer Jesús Rubio Gamo stamps his mark on the revival of an excerpt from his choreography Gran Bolero. Awarded the MAX Prize (Spanish awards for the performing arts) for Best Dance Show in 2020, Gran Bolero is a powerful piece. It’s an ode to hope and to dance itself. Lightness fights with gravity on the very thin line between pleasure and exhaustion. It is a dance celebrating the time and space we share.
