20:00 | Tristan and Isold. Fragments |
|
|
|
|
 New co-project of the "Ballet Moscow" contemporary cast and the French choreographer Regis Obadia. This is the third co-work of the theatre and the choreographer. "The Rite of Spring" performance was awarded Russian national theatrical prize Golden Mask as the best performance of contemporary dance in 2003. "Tristan + Isolde. Fragments" is devoted to the 200th anniversary of the great German composer Richard Wagner. This staging is inspired by a legendary love story of Tristan and Isolde. Regis Obadia worked on the production together with an opera singer Maria Gulik and 8 dancers from theatre Ballet Moscow playing company. Videoartist Voicheck Staron created for Tristan+Isolde. Fragments dynamic video-art which is thrown into real spaces and imaginary. There is no one Tristan and no one Isolde in Obadia's work. Each pair tells us their episode filling it with their own energy. Maria Gulik's live voice transfers the finest savour of protagonists' feelings and emotions. The choreographer had chosen for his work Wesendonck Lieder. It is a song cycle composed by Richard Wagner when he was under the influence of passion for Mathilde Wesendonck, the wife of one's Wagner patrons. This very cycle will inspire Wagner to create Tristan and Isolde. The performance was a nominee of "Golden Mask Festival 2012/13" as contemporary dance/best production.
