Tristan & Isolde

"Salue pour moi le monde !" say Isolde before she leaves Brangäne while waiting for Tristan to make him drink the philtre of the expiation which will become a love potion, simple alibi. Joëlle Bouvier again explores the great myth about the music of Richard Wagner. She wants to share "moments of ecstasy in which hatred rubs with the flames of an extreme passion". The sufferings and antagonisms seem to find their resolution in the night, in death. Passion reigns supreme, and music, "the air that never dies," unites the two lovers. Joëlle Bouvier chose to transform some elements of history in order to make them more abstract, so that the story's not too narrative or realistic. She expresses herself through a more ontarian and metaphorical writing, from which the great themes of the work, love, broken love, treason, resentment and forgiveness, have remained.

Together, they have produced 15 choreographic works performed around the world and co-produced 4 short films, recipients of awards in numerous festivals and produced several videos, including "Casser la Voix", by Patrick Bruel. She was co-director at the CCN in Le Havre from 1986 to 1992, and at the CNDC in Angers from 1993 to 2003.

2015 she returned to ballet at the Grand Théâtre in Geneva for the creation of Tristan & Isolde - Salue Pour Moi Le Monde, with the music of Richard Wagner.
At the same time as she was actively creating, Joëlle Bouvier was invited to produce events, such as a display activity at the Printemps department store in Paris in March 2002, and June 2007. In August, 2006, she performed for the launch of a new Chinese cosmetic product at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, then in China.
