"The most powerful piece of the evening came from Paris Opera Ballet, entitled A perte de vue et au-dela, choreographed by Maxime Thomas, featuring Gladys Foggea, who is paraplegic and wheelchair-bound. The choreography was an homage to Maryse Conde, also confined to a wheelchair, and the connection between the dancers was mesmerizing."
"The offering from The National Ballet of Japan, entitled Re:sonance, was a flowing pas de deux choreographed by Yoshito Kinoshita, beautifully danced by Ryosuke Morimoto and Haruka Soutome, whose mutual understanding elevated the performance."
