Un soir de Noël, la jeune Clara se voit offrir un pantin inanimé, un casse-noisette. Alors qu’elle le tient dans ses bras, elle s’endort et rêve d’un univers fantasque où les jouets et les peurs prennent vie. Paru à Berlin en 1816, ce conte d’Hoffmann, maître du romantisme allemand, inspire à Marius Petipa une première version dansée en 1892. Au milieu de soldats de plomb, de rats et de poupées à la taille démesurée, le monde de l’enfance devient ballet. Les songes et cauchemars de Clara sont portés par la partition étincelante et colorée de Tchaïkovski. En 1985, Rudolf Noureev remonte le ballet à l’Opéra national de Paris dans des décors et costumes qui soulignent l’étrangeté du conte. Flocons de neige, fleurs et paysages enchantés forment le décor d’une chorégraphie éblouissante. Guidée par le pantin de bois devenu prince charmant, la jeune Clara affronte ses désirs et ses angoisses au fil d’un récit initiatique.

français

One Christmas Eve, young Clara is given an inanimate puppet, a nutcracker. Holding it in her arms, she falls asleep and dreams of a fantasy world where toys and fears come to life. Published in Berlin in 1816, this tale by Hoffmann, a master of German Romanticism, inspired Marius Petipa to create an initial dance version in 1892. Amidst tin soldiers, rats and oversized dolls, the world of childhood becomes a ballet. Clara's dreams and nightmares are brought to life through Tchaikovsky's sparkling, colourful score. In 1985, Rudolf Nureyev restaged the ballet at the Paris Opera with sets and costumes emphasising the tale's uncanny nature. Snowflakes, flowers and enchanted landscapes form the backdrop to a dazzling choreography. Guided by the wooden puppet who has become Prince Charming, the young Clara confronts her desires and anxieties in an initiatory tale.
