Three choreography devised from orchestral works of Ravel and Debussy. Mother Goose (Ravel) brings together over sixty dancers and choreographers in a forest. Poetry of nature, wild impulses of the body, evocations of myths, fairies and witches. Prelude to An Afternoon of a Faun by Debussy, choreographed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, is filmed in Kazakhstan, in the desert left by the Aral Sea disappeared. An evocation of the first ballet choreographed by Nijinsky, with a wind of sand and incredible light. Ravel's La valse  is like a tornado dizzying: a flock of birds form random waves on the roofs of the tallest buildings in Brussels. An improvisation group led by choreographer Thomas Hauert.
