Virtual Concert Hall

In the captivating music of Tchaikovsky and the fabulous plot of Charles Perrault, which everyone has known since childhood, choreographer Nacho Duato found new meanings, emotional shades and plastic images. Inspired by the choreography of his great predecessor Marius Petipa, Duato does not argue with him, but sometimes quotes him — respectfully or slightly ironically. The grandeur of the classical style has been shaken: It's like a serious symphony orchestra suddenly indulging in light jazz pranks.

The authors of the play created a space on the stage that allows the viewer to find himself inside a fairy tale, in the world of fairies. Surrounded by blooming roses, the characters sometimes look like birds or butterflies. The evil fairy Carabosse appears in the guise of a fatal beauty, who is faithfully served by sneaky cockroaches with shiny backs. In the finale, the evil spell is dispelled, goodness and love triumph. "Nowadays, adults also need fairy tales, they help to return to something important and intimate - to the child inside us," the authors of the play are convinced of this, and the audience readily shares their opinion.
