Damien Jalet and Kohei Nawa join forces for Mirage, a dance piece exploring nature in metamorphosis, with music by Thomas Bangalter and performed by the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève.

Synopsis Mirage by Damien Jalet and Kohei Nawa Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève With Mirage, Damien Jalet presents his first creation for the Ballet du Grand Théâtre, where he has been an associate artist since 2022. Mirage also constitutes the fourth chapter of his collaboration with Japanese visual artist Kohei Nawa. After VESSEL (2016), Mist (2021) and Planet [wanderer] (2023; 2021 at GTG), they continue their exploration of the perpetually metamorphosing nature of living beings, merging their respective disciplines and confronting the human body with different materials. Inspired by the phenomenon of mirages and fata morgana (optical illusions associated with weather conditions caused by the distortion of light passing through layers of air at different temperatures), Damien Jalet and Kohei Nawa portray a wandering humanity in a metaphorical desert, in search of itself. Through a series of transformations, the piece strips the performers down, layer after layer, exploring an infinite variety of physical and emotional states. Sometimes evoking the spectres of a civilisation on the edge of a dry well, sometimes crossed by the dazzling colours and sensuality of tropical nature, Mirage crosses the stage like a waking dream, mobile and floating, made of atmospheric phenomena.
