With the dancers of the Ballet Julien Lestel and guest artist Alexandra Cardinale of the Paris Opera.
If immediate freedom is illusory, the question is what paths to take to keep the hope of conquering freedom.
One would be tempted to believe that freedom is to do what one wants, to meet one’s own needs, to realize one’s own desires, here, as soon as possible. Yet this infinite quest for appeasement makes it a slave to one’s passions and desires and only provides a sense of illusory freedom.
Can we achieve a form of freedom or are we totally and definitively determined by external and internal constraints ?
The human being is certainly subject to many constraints, but some elevate him to the rank of human, others can lock him in the hindrances of slavery.
Being free is a relationship with oneself but also with others. It is not only to be responsible for your actions, your choices and to be able to respond to them, but it is also to take into consideration otherness, to make a place for others.
« Libre, the latest creation by Julien Lestel, has received ovations. »
La Provence
« At the end of the first scene, a Thunder of applause was already filling the room. »

BALLET JULIEN LESTEL
JULIEN LESTEL
Choreographer
Director Ballet Julien Lestel
Principal dancer
of the Ballet National de Marseille (1999-2011)
Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris (1993-1998)
In the lineage of Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin or Crystal Pite, choreographer Julien Lestel imposes a singular style with his resolutely modern, unique, aesthetic and powerful creations. Trained at the Ballet Dance School of the Opéra National de Paris and at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris where he obtained a First Prize, Julien Lestel then worked with Rudolph Noureev who offered him to dance Cinderella at the San Carlo Theater in Naples, Then he joined the Ballets de Monte Carlo, the Ballet of the Opéra National de Paris, the Ballet of Zürich where he was hired as principal dancer and finally, the Ballet National de Marseille as a partner of Marie-Claude Pietragalla. He has worked with Noureev, Robbins, Kylian, Forsythe, Preljocaj, Roland Petit, Pina Bausch, Malandain… and danced the choreographies of Petipa, Balanchine, Neumeier, Scholz, Lifar, Ashton, Nijinsky…
As a choreographer and dancer, he accompanies actors Pierre Arditi, Marie-Christine Barrault and Macha Méril in readings of literary texts.
He then collaborated with the pianist François-René Duchâble who played on stage in several of his creations – Anastylose, Rachmaninov, Solo and Opus – as well as with the composer Karol Beffa who created the music for Corps et Âmes. He participated in the Gala des Étoiles du XXIe siècle at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées where he danced Les Âmes Frères, one of his creations. He also choreographs the dance parts of operas: Les Pêcheurs de perles, Aïda at the Opéra de Massy and Manon, as well as La Vie parisienne at the Opéra de Marseille.
The Ballet Julien Lestel was born in January 2007 at the Espace Pierre Cardin during the performance of its first choreography Les Âmes Frères. Today, it brings together eleven dancers from different backgrounds and has in its repertoire more than twenty choreographies broadcast in France and abroad in which each can reveal their singularity while remaining faithful to the modern neoclassical style which characterizes that of choreographies.
In 2018, he collaborated with Éléonora Abbagnato, Director of the Rome Opera Ballet, adapting his Puccini choreography for the dancers of the Julien Lestel Ballet and the Rome Opera Ballet.
In 2021 he produced a Web-Series of fourteen episodes The Eternal and the Ephemeral, in collaboration with Alexandra Cardinale – choreographies produced at the Rodin Museum, the Paris Museum of Modern Art and the Quai Branly Museum – Jacques Chirac.
Julien Lestel is committed to a policy of awareness-raising actions. He meets all kinds of audiences during educational projects and choreographic workshops. For example, in schools from kindergarten to high school, with adolescents suffering from autistic disorders or mental disabilities as well as in prison environments, but also in residences for the elderly and hospitals.
In Marseille, he has been leading workshops since January 2023 for a group of blind and psychotic adults living in an IRSAM (Regional Institute for the Deaf and Blind of Marseille) home.
“My research is centered on the creation of fluid gestures without restraint, but also of broken movements with a break in rhythm so that the spectator can be taken towards an emotion and at the same time drawn into a dynamic where power, sensuality and poetry highlighted by the performers. »
The Julien Lestel Ballet had an exceptionally long residency at the Opéra de Massy (2012-2021). Today the Ballet receives support from the City of Marseille and the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Region as well as aid from foundations and private partners.
Julien Lestel is also a teacher at the National Dance School of Marseille.
