Cela nous concerne tous (This concerns all of us) is a commission Miguel created in the fall of 2017 for Ballet de Lorraine in Nancy, France. Premiering during the company’s 50th anniversary season, this piece takes its inspiration (and title) from the May 1968 social and political movements in France. This new piece presents an unruly choreography and a restless and ecstatic liveness to see if we can still access feeling through the phenomenon of coming together in a theater.
