Sinopse
The splendid and feminine Balanchine’s Serenade which contrasts with the male energy of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s Grosse Fugue, the William Forsythe’s abstraction with a virtuosistic duet and the Latin inspiration of Hans van Manen’s 5 Tangos are a perfect sampling of some of the best 20th Century Dance production.
The Matosinhos String Quartet and Camerata Alma Mater will play for these performances in their first musical collaboration with CNB.
The premiere of this program is scheduled for Teatro Muncipal do Porto and aims to value the decentralization thus resuming a procedure traditionally ensued by CNB since 1977.
George Balanchine was born in St Petersburg in 1904. He was trained and danced with the Mariinsky Theatre. At the age of 20 however, he abandoned Russia for good. He started his career at Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, nowadays recognized as a brilliant and influential company of the 20th Century. The pieces Apollo (1928) and Prodigal Son (1929) are still great repertory pieces. George Balanchine died on April 30th 1983, in New York.
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker started her career as choreographer with “Fase, four movements to the music of Steve Reich”, in 1982. She founded the company Rosas in 1983, the same year she created the piece Rosas danst Rosas. From 1992 to 2007, De Keersmaeker is the choreographer of La Monnaie Theatre, the National Opera of Belgium, in Brussels. She created numerous pieces, which were presented worldwide.
Raised in New York and initially trained in Florida with Nolan Dingman and Christa Long, Forsythe danced with the Joffrey Ballet and later the Stuttgart Ballet, where he was appointed Resident Choreographer in 1976. In 1984, he began a 20-year tenure as director of the Ballet Frankfurt. After the closure of the Ballet Frankfurt in 2004, Forsythe established a new ensemble, The Forsythe Company, which he directed from 2005 to 2015. In 2015 Forsythe was appointed Associate Choreographer of the Paris Opera Ballet.
Hans van Manen was born in Amstelveen, Holland, in July 1932. He studied dance with Sonia Gaskell, Françoise Adret and Nora Kiss. His professional career started in 1951, at Sonia Gaskell’s Ballet Recital, and in 1952 at the Dutch National Opera, where he choreographed his first ballet “Feestgericht”, in 1957. After a passage by Roland Petit’s Ballets de Paris, van Manen joined the Nederlands Dans Theater, where he worked as a dancer, choreographer and artistic director. In 2015, Hans van Manen became a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.
