Performance description
Anyone can take a journey through time and around the world in Jacopo Jenna's production of Some Choreographies*. In it, the performer Ramona conducts an incessant dialogue with a quick sequence of videos that are a parade of all possible ways of human movement. The dancer mirrors what is happening on the screen and with her expression breathes life, a third dimension and new values and meanings into the existing 2D material. In the final connection with artist Robert Fassone's original video images of landscapes and living organisms, she searches for the connection of man with the infinite universe.
Olga Dukhovnaya, in collaboration with the composer Anton Svetlichny, performed her own version of *Swan Lake* with the aim of creating a modern performance from this classical ballet. The intention to create a performance on a large scale was planted after two years of quarantine on the last morning of the war conflict. Olga Dukhovnaya turned down a commission from a Moscow museum to create a choreography for more than 30 dancers with a live orchestra and singers. The Ukrainian choreographer reworked the original concept and concentrated the entire ballet ensemble into a single artist: herself. Against the background of the mentioned events, the essential and dynamic dance performance *Swan Lake Solo was born, which is permeated with tones of joyful and unrestrained freedom.
