Created
in December 1984, the Preljocaj company became the National
Choreographic Centre of Champigny-sur-Marne and Val de Marne in 1989.
Since founding his company, now composed of 24 dancers, Angelin Preljocaj has created 30 choreographic works, 8 of which are currently in the Ballet’s repertoire, ranging from duets to larger formations. The Ballet performs about 110 dates per year on tour, in France and abroad.
Angelin Preljocaj has multiplied his collaborations with other artists like Enki Bilal (Roméo et Juliette, 1990), Air (Near Life Experience, 2003) Granular Synthesis (N, 2004) and Fabrice Hyber (Les 4 saisons..., 2005).
His creations have been restaged by numerous other repertory companies, from which he also receives requests to create new pieces. This has been the case with the Ballet de l’Opera in Paris, La Scala in Milan and the New York City Ballet, the Staatsoper in Berlin amongst others.
The Ballet Preljocaj is now settling into its new home, designed by the architect Rudy Ricciotti in Aix-en-Provence. The Pavillon Noir is the first production centre built for dance, where artists will be able to go through the entire creative process, from workshops and rehearsals to staging and performance.
