“Other moving silhouette, endearing, that of Sébastien Bertaud .This wonderful dancer has always been full of choreographic ideas. I remember the creation of Fugitive, the enthusiasm of the spectators. Ballet has lost none of its luster. He even earned a certain perfection achieved in interpretation. A Senlis, she was dazzling. There was initially Sabrina Mallem, beautiful, courageous, fearless among these three wonderful boys, Adrien Couvez, the breathtaking Germain Louvet and Yvon Demol. The intelligent design of the work, the beautiful aesthetic power that emerges, plan dancers – all remarquables- and spectators out of the atmosphere, into the mysterious world of dance. Once again, I admired the subtle art with which Sébastien Bertaud built – as an architect or a Florentine painter of the Quattrocento – choreographic tables. We have the impression that he studied Alberti, because there is in him an innate sense of not only the effect of perspective, but especially the organization of the space between the dancers, figures that they form with their bodies, the earth stability which opposes the slenderness skyward. All this is perfect. »
