	Para-Dice


Para-dice © GTG / Carole Parodi VIDEOS		*Para-Dice, a creation by Saburo Teshigawara* for the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, offers the opportunity for the choreographer to pursue his exploration into dynamics, between the frenzied speed of his most famous works and the absolute inaction in his most recent creations. *Para-Dice*, the name of his choreography, is a play on words. Between the allusions to paradise and the idea of luck ("dice"; luck of the dice), it perfectly defines his art: “Dance is a sculpture, a sculpture of the air, a sculpture of space, a sculpture of time. I dance to make time disappear, I dance to create time”. Premiere: 16 March 2002 (revival in 2005), Bâtiment des Forces Motrices, Genève (CH) With the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève Choreography, set, lighting and costume design: Saburo Teshigawara Assistant to the choreographer: Rihoko Sato Music: Willi Bopp
