FESTIVAL DE CARCASSONNE - BENJAMIN MILLEPIED ET ALEXANDRE THARAUD - UNSTILL LIFE

Benjamin Millepied, choreography and dance
Alexandre Tharaud, piano

Benjamin Millepied and Alexandre Tharaud, two artists at the top of their game, for a face-to-face meeting on stage.

"As a child, I wanted to become a dancer, irresistibly attracted by the Paris Opera, while Benjamin dreamed of being a pianist, before becoming the great dancer and choreographer that we know. Due to a lack of talent, I did not pursue classical dance. But the piano welcomed me with open arms. Benjamin and I met a few years ago on the Place des Vosges in Paris. That day, we had the idea of a residency at the Opera, during which I would have given concerts and participated in a few ballets inspired by the piano repertoire. Time has passed, and today our paths cross again in a more intimate project, that of a face to face encounter between our two professions. If Benjamin's entire work is deeply linked to music, I think I can say that my playing would not have been what it is without my years of barre as a child, my discipline of the body and my passion for dance, which is constantly renewed.
