Neoclassical Dance Performance – Zingari and Nereids
Presentation
Join us on July 12, 2025, at 7:00 PM for a neoclassical dance performance on the Esplanade Aristide Briand!
The town of Cassis and the Acontretemps Company present a vibrant and colorful neoclassical dance show!
Twelve dancers take the stage in an energetic fusion of movement and emotion, captivating both seasoned dance lovers and curious newcomers.
Zingari (50 minutes)
Step into the roaring twenties and immerse yourself in a lively Zingari (gypsy) encampment as the troupe prepares for the evening’s performance. An amusing tale unfolds through an impossible love story, comical misunderstandings, and dramatic showdowns — all delivered with humor and charm. As the final scenes approach, the performers transform before your eyes: makeup, costumes, and suddenly… they become circus artists!
Set to the spirited Eastern European gypsy music of the Massilia Gypsis Band.
Nereids (28 minutes)
A colorful, whimsical world where fantastical beings drift and dance with grace and playfulness, carried by the currents of imagination...
Accompanied by enchanting contemporary music, this ballet delights audiences of all ages — from the youngest to the young at heart.
The Acontretemps Company
Founded in 2012 by Christine Colombani, a former soloist with the Royal Ballet of Wallonia and a dancer with the Opéra de Marseille under Roland Petit.
Her creations, inspired by Mediterranean writers and folk traditions, aim to make neoclassical dance accessible to all. The company's performances are energetic, poetic, humorous, and truly inclusive.
Practical information:
- Duration: 1h20, including a 15-minute intermission
- Venue: Esplanade Aristide Briand, Cassis
- Free seating
Tickets available starting July 7.
