About Precipice

Description

Precipice is inspired by the lives of certain stars of pop music, notably Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison, who at the peak of their success were constantly driven toward self-destruction. It is in some ways a ballet about loneliness. A ballet where a hero, an idol… a star, trapped by the paradox of his times, finds himself at the top, at the edge of the precipice.
