What is “We call it Ballet”?
Rousing music, a profound plot and sophisticated choreography are only part of what comes together in “We call it Ballet”. In this shortened version of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece, a fascinating constellation of lights adorns the backdrop and the costumes of the dancers, who glide across the stage as light as feathers, like fairies. Classical ballet is combined here with state-of-the-art technology, which takes the performance to a whole new level and gives it a unique touch.
The ballet, its narrative and the show
The history of ballet dates back to the 15th century, when dance, music and theatrical performances served as entertainment at royal courts during the Italian Renaissance. This dance form continued to develop over the centuries, becoming increasingly famous and finally reaching its heyday in the 19th century during the Romantic period.
It is no wonder that Romanticism discovered ballet for itself: with the depth of feeling expressed by this dance form, its aesthetic beauty and the immersion in distant, magical worlds. “We call it Ballet” now brings this epoch-breaking art form to the modern stage, complemented by sparkling LED lights and a narrator who lends additional depth to the expression of the dance and the music.
The new ballet spectacle takes you on a journey into a world where movements on stage write poetry and every step reveals a little more of the soul.
