Without Words is Nacho Duato’s second work for the prestigious American Ballet Theater company. The title refers to Schubert’s songs scores, which are instrumental music, music without words. As in the songs, the choreographer strips the dancing of any evident romantic atmosphere. Love and death appear as the central subjects derived from the music. A new world, with all its possibilities, is revealed in a dark existential scenographic space typical of the 20th century. Duato shows a universal vital cycle in all its spontaneity, free of unnecessary alignments and ornaments.



Nunc Dimittis

“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.

Prelude is an interpretation of the emotions and impressions which he experienced at the start of a new period of his life — in Russia, in St. Petersburg and with the Mikhailovsky Theatre. The new ballet is not based on one particular subject. The meeting of classical ballet and contemporary dance — two very different worlds, striving for mutual awareness and understanding — form its conceptual core. For all its apparent simplicity, the name of the ballet can be interpreted in a number of different ways. Indeed, its meaning is not just limited to the musical term. It can be assumed that in his new performance, Duato shall attempt to convey every emotional nuance accompanying the convergence of two opposing sources, and their subsequent merging, giving rise to a new life.
