4 DANCED SEASONS

VIVALDI IN URBAN PULSE

Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons resound once more, but this time they are seen, they move, and they take shape. 4 Danced Seasons proposes a new way of experiencing this iconic work: not as an untouchable classic, but as music that can still activate the present.
With musical direction by Julien Chauvin at the helm of Le Concert de la Loge, and choreography by Mourad Merzouki - a key figure in bringing hip-hop into the contemporary scene - the show builds a direct dialogue between Baroque energy and the language of urban movement. This is not a decorative fusion, but an encounter that recovers the rhythmic, physical, and almost visceral character of Vivaldi's music.
Merzouki, who previously captivated the Festival audience with Folia, returns to Peralada with a new interpretation that delves into this line of inquiry: bringing urban dance to the stage as a language capable of engaging with tradition without losing its energy or identity.
Musicians and dancers share the space, blurring the boundaries between concert and choreography. The score becomes action, and movement becomes a way of making it visible. The result is a stage experience that circulates energy, contrast, and precision, where every gesture responds to a sound architecture in constant transformation.
Far from a historicist interpretation, this production restores The Four Seasons to its most immediate dimension: that of body and rhythm. A work written three centuries ago finds here a new way to breathe and make itself present.
