Directed by one of the leading choreographers of our times, John Neumeier, Hamburg Ballett proposes a great triptych, entirely dedicated to Vaslaw Nijinsky and Ballets Russes. They will start with an Italian première: “Vaslaw”, centred on the man and artist who revolutionised the image of a male dancer, promoting a modern conception of choreography. The “Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune” and “Le Sacre” will follow, celebrating the extraordinary novelty of Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes in Paris and Europe in a tribute for the centennial of the most influential dance company of the xx century, with the innovative force of the sublime musical inventions of such absolute geniuses as Debussy and Stravinsky.
