Astonishment and modernity are at play in the three works brought together here by the Lyon Opera Ballet: Merce Cunningham’s Winterbranch, a reference in contemporary dance; How slow the wind, with the performers François Chaignaud and Cecilia Bengolea, and lastly Tout autour by Rachid Ouramdane, who leads 24 dancers in brilliantly orchestrated abandon.
