This is a ballet about the complex feeling of excitement that a person gets when surrounded by nature. I want to show this acute feeling, invisible in everyday life, on the stage. The ballet’s colour scheme is blue, the colour of the sky, and the colour of the world in general. I am reminded of the expressive works of Picasso in his ‘Blue Period’ when he said that he immersed himself in blue. Blue allowed the artist to move away from traditional art and towards abstraction, where he was able to express the immaterial. I would like to achieve the same.
