DANIEL LÉVEILLÉ DANSE
\ contemporary dance

The closest one can come to describing Daniel Leveille is to say that he has been the quiet storm in a very active and prominent dance milieu. In a silent way, he has gone against the traffic for 20 some years. Success caught up with him as Amour, acide et noix has garnered increasing international recognition.

George Balanchine once said that it was impossible to choreograph on Beethoven's music, a declaration that DL soundly challenges in his new work, Twilight of the oceans, which completes a triptych with Amour, acide et noix (2001) and The Modesty of icebergs (2004).

"The purity of these unadorned actions takes my breath away." (The Village Voice, New York)"

Amour, acide et noix / The Modesty of icebergs / Twilight of the oceans will be presented in a row at La Biennale di Venezia on May 30 and 31, 2010.
