STARRING IVAN VASILIEV
Triple Bill by Ivan Vasiliev
Blind Affair. Bolero. Morphine
music by Max Richter, Maurice Ravel, Gustav Mahler
Outstanding dancer and audience favourite Ivan Vasiliev has fulfilled his long-standing dream of becoming a choreographer. Three of his one-act ballets are now firm fixtures in the theatre’s repertoire: Blind Affair, Bolero, and Morphine. Blind Affair, set to music by the British composer Max Richter, is a choreographic calque of modern society with its dependence on mobile gadgets. Bolero, in which the choreographer rebels against everyday life and ordinariness, is an interesting new take on Maurice Ravel’s music; here the dance is akin to a call for an escape to freedom. The literary source for Morphine, set to Gustav Mahler’s music, is Bulgakov’s A Young Doctor’s Notebook. The main character tries to escape from the phantoms that haunt him, but only sinks deeper into a nightmare.
