Saturday, 3rd December 2011, 7.30 pm (pre-show starts at 6.30 pm)
This unique program presents an exceptional variety of modern and modernist styles coming together in stunning unity. The first piece, “Le Cri” (the scream) is based on Edward Munch’s famous painting. This new choreography is a disturbing duet where each dancer in turn touches, gropes and feels the other. The created intimacy, undesired, initiates bothering results.
The second piece is the classical piece “Faun” by Demetrius Klein, the noted American choreographer sees here its asian premiere: a tale of love lost and longing, it recreates the Nijinsky masterpiece in a modern style.
The last piece, “Morphoses” by UBDC resident choreographer Philippe Saint-Paul starts from the same premise as “Entre-mains” but takes us in a very different world where space, time and dreams collide. We are taken back to the time in Paris where all artists from different generations, origins, dreams met and confronted their ideas in a unequalled dynamic: at the beginning of the 20th century in Paris, we see Matisse, Picasso, Braque, Rodin, Isadora Duncan, Fokine, Nijinsky, Stravinsky create a new world where nothing will ever be the same.
A varied presentation, 1 hour 30 minutes long with 2 short transitions, it shows the richness of French choreography of today and its heritage from the 20th century.
Tickets for 900, 700 and 500 Baht (students 50 % discount) are now available at Vic Hua Hin: 032 827 814-5.
