Contemporary dance work by Jean-Claude Gallotta.
For other uses, see Ulysse.
Ulysse is a contemporary dance work by FrenchchoreographerJean-Claude Gallotta, created in 1981 for eight dancers.
It is considered one of Gallotta's most important works, and a cornerstone of the new French dance movement of the early 1980s.[1][2][3][4] Faithful to his desire to revisit his works, Jean-Claude Gallotta has re-choreographed Ulysse on numerous occasions, offering four different versions to date in terms of performers, scenography and music: Ulysse (1981), Ulysse, re-création (1993), Les Variations d'Ulysse (1995) and Cher Ulysse (2007).
Les Variations d'Ulysse, commissioned by the Paris Opera, entered the Paris Opera Ballet repertoire in 1995 under the direction of Brigitte Lefèvre.
History
The ballet Ulysse is based on the central character of Homer's Odyssey, but also on Bloom from Joyce's Ulysses.[5&
