This explosively theatrical full-length ballet underlines all the eroticism, lust, and treachery of the scandalous novel by Choderlos de Laclos. Choreographed by Artistic Director Jean Grand-Maître, this compelling story of malicious 18th century French aristocrats crackles with sexual tension and suspense as two master manipulators corrupt, seduce, and betray a pious and upright young woman. Destructively decadent games begin with wit and urbanity, but soon descend into deceit, rage - and violent revenge.
