Ballet National de Marseille
“Lincoln Center Festival 2007 will present the Ballet in the North American premiere of Metapolis II, a spectacular convergence of ballet, film, video and architecture. Created by the company’s artistic director, the choreographer and avant-garde theater director Frédéric Flamand, with scenic design and costumes by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, Metapolis II reflects the ballet company’s radical aesthetic: a commitment to joining world-class architects who create a scenic design that intersects with ideas of the human body moving through space and time.”
