Édouard Lock, who has had no formal ballet training, is famous for his experimental dances. In his show “The Orange” dancers walked on broken glass. “All of my ballets are an exploration. I like to study the audience, and play with meanings. To mix the classical and the contemporary. It is exciting,” explains Édouard Lock. Photo: Sandra Muelbauer, a dancer with La La La Human Steps.
The “New Work” is based on the ancient myths of Dido and Aeneas, and Orpheus and Eurydice. It features fast dancing and complex movements en pointe. Diana Vishnyova was invited to play the led role. Photo: Diana Vishnyova and La La La Human Steps dancer Jason Shipley-Holmes.
