The Great Chevalier

 

The Great Chevalier is a special evening of dance with the Ballet National Folklorique du Luxembourg’s flamboyant artistic director, Mr Chevalier. To mark the 50 year anniversary of the company’s most famous ballet Josiane the Countrygirl, Mr Chevalier is going to visit all the important places that have contributed to the success of the Ballet National Folklorique du Luxembourg over the years. Renowned in the world of contemporary folk dance for his expertise, bold artistic vision, and magnetic stage presence, Mr Chevalier will perform extracts of the famous Pigeon Dance and the poetic Dance of the Grass and the Flowers, both emblematic dances of the ballet Josiane, the Countrygirl. The night will also include a sneak preview of Mr Chevalier’s newest project, followed by an exclusive autograph signing.
