The ballet «Night on Bald Mountain» by Eric Gauthier is an artistic exploration of themes revolving around passion, power dynamics, and the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. Set to the evocative music of Modest Mussorgsky, which vividly and programmatically describes the meeting of witches on the mountain, an intense world is created with the dancers and their partners.

The ensemble piece for five couples captivates with its dynamic choreography. In a neo-classical movement language, featuring women en pointe, a nuanced portrayal of the dancers unfolds. Mussorgsky's music, with its driving rhythms and melodies, draws the audience into a fascinating world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur.
