by A.A. Cristi - Oct 8, 2024

“Lago de los cisnes, que se presentará en el Auditorio Nacional, es un trabajo muy propio al que las bailarinas y los bailarines se han sumado con entusiasmo.

Lo que quise rescatar en mi montaje son las personas que hay detrás de cada personaje; escribí y trabajé la coreografía a partir de la parte humana que hay detrás de cada uno de ellos”.
