Soft-spoken and self-effacing, Nicolas Blanc sits in a folding chair in a sunny studio room of the Joffrey tower, gently cueing the entrances and changes for five dancers in his short ballet entitled “Evenfall,” uttering the occasional, supportive “good” or “nice” for a well-landed movement.

Choreographer Nicolas Blanc’s beautiful love story entitled “Evenfall” was brought to life April 22nd at the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago. His piece was about a poet writing a stirring love story which takes the audience on a journey from the poet’s emotional birth of his characters to them falling in love and fighting. I looked forward to Choreographer Blanc’s ballet from the beginning of “New Works” and he did not disappoint.
“[Evenfall] is a Magritte painting, with atmospheric clouds skittering across the stage as the Poet’s MacBook glows with its apple of temptation. [It is] romantic, evocative and beautifully danced.”
“[Evenfall] is the star of “New Works!”
“The stunning choreography and the dancers’ pure beauty add rich layers to a simple but powerful love story. Evenfall has the potential to be legendary, and it’s exciting to know it started right here in Chicago.”
