Premiиre at the Mikhailovsky Theatre: 23 May 2013

One-act ballet Na Floresta / In the woods is set to music of Villa-Lobos, arranged by Tisso. The woods in the title are meant to be in Latin America — on the banks of the Amazon; however, there’s no ethnography in Duato’s choreography — at least, no Brazilian samba in the ballet. It’s just a cascade of intricate ensembles, duets, solos and trios showing the freedom of wild life and the elemental power of human emotions. 

 

Duende

Music by Claude Debussy
Choreography: Nacho Duato
Sets: Walter Nobbe

Lighting Design: Nicolбs Fischtel 
Choreographer's Assistants: Tony Fabre, Eva Maria Lopez Crevillen

World premiиre: NDT at the AT&T Danstheater, the Hague, 21 November 1991 
Russian premiиre: Mikhailovsky Theatre, 15 March 2011

Duato’s ‘ideas’ for choreography are almost always preceded by his choice of music, which characterises his working method. Maybe this applies to Duende in particular, because the music was the only source of inspiration for this ballet. Long ago, Duato fell in love with Debussy, especially with the way the composer makes nature sound in music. When he listens to this music, Duato visualises shapes, not people, relationships or events. This is why he considers Duende as an almost sculptural work: a body, a movement, that goes with the tune.

‘Duende’ literally means elf or fairy, like the ones who tidy upchildren’s toys at night, but it can also mean rascal, a naughty child. One can also possess ‘duende’, when radiating energy and great charm, almost having a magical attraction. In Andalusia flamenco is said ‘to have duende’, which can hardly be translated into another language. Flamenco has a touch of spell, one might say, like the way black music has ‘soul’.

“...It’s a loose reflection on drug-taking and its influence on our social behaviour, on our possibility to communicate with people around, and on our life in general. The choreographer doesn’t insist on anything, he is a witness, not a judge. His aim is to invite us to meditate on this painful and controversial subject.”
