19:00 | DanceInversion Contemporary Dance Festival: Hedda Gabler |
|
|
|
|
 International Contemporary Dance Festival DanceInversion celebrates its 20th anniversary! During these years Moscow has welcomed almost 90 choreographers as well as numerous professionals from: 5 continents and the Islands of New Zealand, Ireland and Cuba, 30 countries, 78 companies. The Festival's mission has always been the discovery of new names and new styles of dance art. DanceInversion remains true to this ethos and includes the names of both professional artists and exciting newcomers. The choreographer Marit Moum Aune, speaking through the language of dance, retells a famous psychological drama from Henrik Ibsen. The story focuses on a brilliant but willful General's daughter, Hedda Gabler. The expressive gracefulness of the actors, the amazing music from jazz experimentalist and trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær, and the twilight set design by Even Børsum, all merge to engulf the viewer in a classically Scandinavian atmosphere of 'doom and gloom'.
