STARRING IVAN VASILIEV
Morphine. Blind Affair. Love is All Around
triple bill by Ivan Vasiliev
Morphine is based on a short story of the same name by the Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov. I come to the studio and slip into kind of madness. I try not to repeat myself or copy the movements created by other choreographers. If I find myself making the movements that I borrowed from the choreography that I have danced, I stop and tell my dancers: “Guys, forget it. It’s not mine.”
