I’ve been thinking through the idea of creation of this ballet for more than ten years. The fairy-tale of Andersen is incredibly beneficial material. There are many colorful characters, Christian philosophy motives, theme of the road, growth, transformation on the way to perfection».
The choreographer remains true to the narrative line of the literary resource – the story of Kai and Gerda.
