True to his reputation for being an audacious and eclectic choreographer, Édouard Lock has taken inspiration from some of the most notable ballets of the Romantic period, in particular Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty. The choreographer marries poetry, tradition and modernity to bring these themes to life.
Amjad is composed in part of passages from these ballets, but deconstructed, reconstructed and adapted to current musical and choreographic worlds. With Amjad, Édouard Lock continues his exploration of the body as an abstract, extreme entity.
