We present a new combination of one-act ballets «Illusive Ball. Petite Mort. Minus 16».
The «Illusive Ball» on the music of Chopin was performed by Dmitry Bryantsev at the end of the 20th century. First, the choreographer composed «Romantic Duet» on the music of Chopin’s second piano concert. Over time, the choreographer supplemented the ballet with new episodes, consonant with the idea and atmosphere.
Jiri Kylian’s ballet «Petite Mort» was performed on the enchanting music of two slow pieces from Mozart’s piano concerts and was first shown at the Salzburg Festival in 1991. The ballet for six men, six women and six rapiers is a brilliant example of a complete fusion of music and choreography.
The performances of Ohad Naharin are loved by spectators and artists all over the world. In «Minus 16» the choreographer destroys the boundary between the stage and the hall, makes the audience not only witnesses, but also participants of the performance. Starting the first Russian production of the Naharin ballet, the artists of the ballet company mastered the dance language Gaga, developed by the Israeli choreographer, with interest and now ready to share the joy of the opening with the Moscow audience.
