What’s the most difficult ballet for you?
Raymonda. It’s a huge ballet, and Nureyev is so complicated, it is the most difficult ballet of my life. You have six or seven variation, three pas de deux, at the end you are dead. It’s good to do it because you keep a good technique, when you can dance this you can dance everything. But for me it’s too much, it’s like eating too much. There is a lot of technique in this ballet but the pleasure is very little. When you work with a choreographer you can meet each other or not, sometimes you can have a fight but you can feel something. With Nureyev of course it’s different because he is dead. So, sometimes I’m a little bit frustrated with his choreography because I don’t like to work only on videos, or with other dancers who say: “I was doing this” and another one “no, I was doing that”.

(However, there are a few things that sound odd, perhaps some translation problems?) Aurélie Dupont has been very successful since her return on stage last spring, I'm keeping my fingers crossed so that she remains in good shape (she was absent for almost one year and people were seriously worried that she might not come back).
