Based on the play A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, a choreographic film by Jean-Christophe Maillot. Gorgeous dancing – and wildly imaginative sets and costumes – bring to vivid life the ecstatic, elegant eroticism in Shakespeare‘s classic fantasy. Recorded at The Grimaldi Forum Monaco, 2009.

Jean-Christophe Maillot has re-worked Swan Lake with writer Jean Rouaud to bring a new drama to this pillar of the classic repertoire. This new adaptation, filmed in a special studio setting at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, brings modern-day relevance to the timeless story of Siegfried and Odette.

Inspired by Charles Perrault's famous fairy tale "The Sleeping Beauty," choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot homes in on the theme of abstinence and virtue vs. carnal desire in this bewitching ballet. Performed by Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo and featuring the music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky, this enchanting production won the Nijinsky Award for Best Choreographic Production 2001 and the Danza & Danza Prize for Best Show 2002.

Jean-Christophe Maillot's Romeo and Juliet transports us into the tormented soul of Brother Lawrence: the action is staged as a flashback to the events leading up to the young lovers' tragic demise. Joined by the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of David Garforth, Bernice Coppieters (Juliet) and Chris Roelandt (Romeo) lead the prestigious Ballets de Monte-Carlo in this riveting 2002 interpretation of Prokofiev’s masterpiece.

Much more than just an homage to Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, Jean-Christophe Maillot’s vision of Scheherazade resonates as an exploration of the artistic universe that shaped his thirty-year-long career. Léon Bakst’s sets and Michel Fokine’s original choreography inspire this fascinating 2011 reinterpretation.
