  • This proves that the piece was designed for Silvie Guillem because I'm sorry to say that Agnes Letestu looks listless in comparison, but I'm sure she's great in a different repertoire . This piece requires constant contrast in speed when you dance, a kind of powerful yet controlled explosion and slowness at the same time.

  • I am surprised that she tried this, but she did just fine. More grace and fluidity than others and less frantic jerkiness. If she isn't a Forsythe dancer, that's a point in her favor, no?

  • Maybe Agnes Letestu is too graceful for a piece like this... But she's still very great!!!!

  • I wont 'hate' on Letestu because I know she and sylvie came through paris opera around the same time but there is a difference. Agnes is strictly Paris school vocabulary. Guillem is and forever will be a dance phenom. I say this because Guillem's musicality, athleticism, speed, and facility are un-matched. Its hard to compare the two because they are two completely different dancers.

  • what do you mean with 'if she isnt a forsythe dancer,thats a point in her favor'??find it somewhat irrelevant reaction since youre saying before that she did do a good job.and it is a piece made by forsythe !!!!?people are strange :)

  • Donde estuve ?

  • i danced with forsythe forever. and i think she did super great job. and expresses the music great. i like how she takes her own risks and is off balance on that last step before the improvisation at the end. go girl!

    wow and she does a triple attiude turn in the mid of that pas deux and that is a tricky spot too and at the end of the piece. GO GIRL

  • It must take courage for paris opera ballerinas, or any ballerinas, to try this piece after Sylvie Guillem.

  • No I agree with the rest of the comments. Although I'm a huge admirer of Agnès Letestu, this isn't really her area of expertise. She didn't do such a bad job though, but she unbelievably excels in the classical pieces (which she can even bring to a higher level).

  • hmmmmm.. not quite a ballet for her :-(

  • I think she did a fantastic job...I love it...love it love it
