DAMIEN JALET / KITES

Costumes / Design & Production / Client: Göteborg Opera

With unstoppable, relentless fluidity and joyful emergency, Kites pull its audience in a vortex of complex patterns and movements at the crossroad between cutting sharp precision and ecstatic abandon. An extremely physical reflection on the fleeting, fragile yet powerful nature of life, hanging on a thread like a kite surfing unpredictable currents.

The creation of Damien Jalet at GöteborgsOperans has a line of investigations with associate choreographer Aimilios Arapoglou, the musical composition is done by Mark Pritchard and Dorian Concept, the set designed by Jim Hodges and Carlos Marques Da Cruz; costumes designed by Jean Paul Lespagnard and lights by Fabiana Piccioli.
