“Du bout des lèvres” is a new choreographic creation by Benjamin Millepied, inspired by the world of singer Barbara. Her songs, at once intimate and universal, become the very source of the movement.

In a minimalist, luminous space, the dancers, and in particular a cast that brings together several generations of women, embody a range of emotions that run through her work, from nostalgia to passion, from tenderness to tragedy. This diversity of female voices resonates as a poetic echo of Barbara herself, whose songs embrace the entire spectrum of existence: youth, middle age, memory, loss, and love that span an entire lifetime.

The dance unfolds to the rhythm of the melodies and lyrics, transforming the stage into a space of sensitive and vibrant poetry. Benjamin Millepied thus offers a celebration of the humanity and intensity that inhabit Barbara’s work, providing the audience with an experience that is at once musical, visual, and emotional.
