« Greet the world for me! » are Isolde’s words as she takes leave of Brangäne and waits for Tristan to drink the draught of atonement, the innocent alibi that turns into a love potion. Joëlle Bouvier is ready to delve once more into the great mythical narratives, this time to the music of Richard Wagner. After having shown us her vision of Romeo and Juliet, she wishes us to share with her those moments of ecstasy in which hail and extreme passion burn in a same fire. Suffering and conflict seem to resolve themselves into night and death. Passion takes over and music – Tristan’s “ancient tune” that never dies – brings the two lovers together. No choreographer has ever dared to address such a subject before, this “dying to yearn, but not to die of yearning.” Eros and Agape are everywhere; Love is unavoidable; it brings both devastation and redemption. The two protagonists think they are drinking oblivion, but what they are drinking is Love, a Love that will be the death of them. And what if the obstacles to Love were its guarantees? "Salue pour moi le monde!" sublimates Romanticism with the language of bodies in movement.
