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’.

“The inspiration for this work was a composition entitled Nunc Dimittis by Arvo Pдrt. The fact that the ballet is set to religious music gives it a mystical, supernatural dimension. Pдrt wrote the music to the Canticle of Simeon, but this is an abstract ballet. There are no characters as such, do not expect to see the Virgin Mary, Jesus or Simeon. I would like to stress that this ballet was also inspired by Ekaterina Borchenko (prima ballerina of the Mikhailovsky ballet): Nunc Dimittis is being created with her in mind and for her”. Nacho Duato, January 2011.
