Interdit d’exercer la moindre activité en relation avec la musique sous le nazisme, Kurt Weill s’expatrie à Paris en 1933. Peu de temps après son arrivée, Boris Kochno, alors co-directeur avec le jeune Balanchine des Ballets 33, lui passe commande d’un ballet. Un temps envisagé en collaboration avec Cocteau, il retrouvera finalement son complice Bertolt Brecht, avec qui il s’était fâché quelques années auparavant, pour une ultime collaboration. Réquisitoire implacable d’une société en déliquescence, l’ouvrage s’articule en sept séquences où se côtoient valse, foxtrot, marche, tarentelle et quatuor vocal masculin. La parabole d’une dualité sociale (autoritarisme / anarchie) est incarnée par le personnage féminin, Anna I, et son double dansé, Anna II. Entre gouaille mi-parlée, mi-chantée et choral dans la plus pure tradition luthérienne, Kurt Weill explore tout le spectre d’une pièce musicale en constante instabilité à l’image de l’idée de société qu’elle dépeint.

After being banned from involvement in any form of musical activity under the Nazi regime, Kurt Weill moved to Paris in 1933. Shortly after his arrival, Boris Kochno, co-director of the Ballets 33 company alongside a young Balanchine, commissioned a ballet from him. Weill initially considered working with Cocteau, but eventually joined forces with Bertolt Brecht, with whom he had fallen out several years previously, on what would be their last collaboration. An unflinching indictment of a society in decline, this work is divided into seven sequences featuring a waltz, foxtrot, march, tarantella and a male vocal quartet. This parable of social dualism (authoritarianism versus anarchy) is embodied by the female character, Anna I, and her dancing doppelganger Anna II. In a combination of part-spoken and part-sung banter, and choral song in the pure Lutheran tradition, Kurt Weill explores the full spectrum of a musical piece which is riddled with instability to echo the society he is depicting.
