Thierry Malandain composed around eighty choreographies, of which several have been created or included in the repertoire of numerous other French and foreign companies : Paris Opera Ballet, the Ballet National de Marseille, the Ballet de l’Opéra National de Bordeaux, the Latvian National Ballet, Sadamatsu Hamada Ballet Company, Introdans, Ballet Nacional Chileno, Ballet Florida, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, Singapore Dance Theatre, The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Ballet Contemporáneo de Caracas, Cairo Opera Ballet Company, the Royal Ballet of Flanders, the Ballet Royal de Wallonie…
Transmitting Thierry Malandain’s repertoire to these companies has had numerous positive impacts for the Ballet: it contributes to the prestige of the CCN of Aquitaine in Pyrénées-Atlantiques and increases the visibility of Malandain’s name, and thus of the CCN.
