Dancer (Flight Pattern)
EN DIRECTO EN CINES DE ESPAÑA Y ANDORRA EL JUEVES 16 DE MAYO DE 201 9, 20:15H. DOS OBRAS RECIENTES Y UN ESTRENO MUNDIAL MUESTRAN EL ROSTRO CONTEMPORÁNEO DE THE ROYAL BALLET. El rostro contemporáneo de The Royal Ballet se revela en obras firmadas por tres de los más destacados coreógrafos actuales. Within the Golden Hour, de Christopher Wheeldon, se basa en siete parejas que se separan y entremezclan, con música de Vivaldi y Bosso, y se encuentra iluminado por ricos colores sugeridos por el anochecer. Flight Pattern, de Crystal Pite, que se repone por primera vez, utiliza una gran danza de conjunto y se vale de la familiar música de Górecki tomada de su Sinfonía de las Canciones Quejumbrosas para realizar una intensa y apasionada reflexión sobre la migración. Entre una y otra, una nueva obra de Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, creada para The Royal Ballet, en su estreno mundial.

The Dream: Frederick Ashton’s delightful interpretation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a classic of The Royal Ballet’s repertory. Symphonic Variations: Ashton was inspired to create a ballet on the four seasons – but as he began to choreograph he refined and purified until the ballet shook off its original meaning, emerging as an abstract celebration of movement and physicality. Marguerite and Armand: Marguerite, a Parisian courtesan, lies on her deathbed. She recalls her tragic love affair with Armand in a series of feverish flashbacks.

Frederick Ashton's La Fille mal gardée (The Wayward Daughter) is one of the choreographer's most joyous and colourful creations. Inspired by his love for the Suffolk countryside, the ballet is set on a farm and tells a story of love between Lise, the daughter of Widow Simone, and Colas, a young farmer. It contains some of Ashton's most stunning choreography, most strikingly in the series of energetic pas de deux that express the youthful passion of the young lovers, performed here by Natalia Osipova and Steven McRae. The ballet is laced with exuberant good humour, and elements of national folk dance, from dancing chickens and a maypole dance to a Lancashire clog dance for Widow Simone, performed by Philip Mosley.
