It was in 1961 that Arthur Plasschaert presented his first show at the Olympia, Bruno Coquatrix having asked him to create ballets for the mythical hall. On this occasion, the dancer shared the spotlight with a certain Johnny Hallyday. “That’s the day I was bornexplained the artist in the columns of the newspaper West France. I saw them all at their beginnings: Brassens, Bécaud, Brel, Polnareff…” A figurehead of television, he had enjoyed the heyday of the Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier shows and had been at the head of the Monte-Carlo ballets.
In 1990, tired by the splendor of his Parisian life, he nevertheless settled in Normandy with his companion Loïc Le Page, with whom he created the Jazz’Orne Danse Festival – the 15th edition of the event will take place in 2023 . “I learn of the disappearance of Arthur Plasschaertso regrets Sheila. So many memories with him!!! My first choreographies. DAISY in duet with Annie Cordy, the ballet of L’HEURE DE LA SORTIE, and so many others !!!… May he make heaven dance.” This is a challenge he will take up, let’s be sure, hands down.
