Joint projects involving leading experts of the world of ballet industry Ekaterinburg Theatre offers the audience a chance to see the best that exists today in the ballet world outside of "Swan Lake".
Terra Nova - an attempt to push the boundaries of conventional aesthetic representations of dancers and the audience raised on the classics. Divide with us the fate of pioneers, not without difficulty, but full of exciting adventures and unexpected discoveries.
The territory outside the classics - this grand space of unknown opportunities for actual choreography. Two extraordinary contemporary choreographer-establish its own rules here.
First - Englishman Paul Lightfoot - recognized worldwide authority on sontemporary dance. In his luggage 55 productions for the famous Nederlands Dans Theater, many of which are created in a creative alliance with Sol León. Ballet Step Lightly was coined in 1991 to six young dancers of NDT under the influence of "Mysteries" - folk music performed by Bulgarian Choir, a powerful polyphony which combines the power of the female and the male principle, the beauty of wildlife and the call of the primitive instincts. It was this work is selected for the debut of choreographer in Russia.
Second choreographer - Vyacheslav Samodurov - is rapidly gaining sympathy ballet world eccentricity of his choreographic thinking, and have gained popularity due to several successful works created specifically for the Yekaterinburg Theater (three "Golden Mask" -2014 for "Variations Salieri" and one for "Santus Arcticus» ). His new ballet "Curtain" is created on the music Ottorino Respighi. "This composer with whom I feel togetherness, rarely performed in Russia", - explained the choreographer in his musical preferences, while continuing to develop the musical taste of the public. As for the idea of ??the play - he as always, prefers to keep it secret.
For Vyacheslav Samodurov - Paul Lightfoot remains a teen idol, and his work - a unique phenomenon in the world of dance:
"We are the first ballet company in Russia, which had the fortunate opportunity to try on the choreography Lightfoot and introduce her audience. Paul not only talented, but also extremely charismatic, to work with him - tremendous fun and unique experience. His work is strikingly modern - witty and dramatic, full of passion and energy. Working in the Dutch National Ballet, I've been at premieres in NDT, saw many of the works of Paul, and I've always wanted to dance his choreography. This possibility to me, unfortunately, it was not, so now I'm in the hall in an amicable envy my dancers. Dance is incredibly difficult: difficult language and dynamic choreography designed for young dancers, which is the energy and the desire to express themselves through dance. It's hard to say what style Lightfoot. Perhaps Sam Lightfoot - this is the style. Most of his ballets are deprived of the narrative, but always it seems as if reading a book or watching a movie. In the works of Paul's always a lot of content - and this is exactly what I especially appreciate the ballet. These choreographers communicate with the public on a completely different level - not telling the story, and exciting emotional story. That is why they are able to tell the dance that you can not put into words. " Both ballet performed to the soundtrack. The project sponsor - Support Fund choreographic art "Eurasia ballet."
