This is stunning, first time I've seen them danced so believably young, how your first love hits you like a truck. Interpreting that passage of Prokofiev for their first kiss was sublime.
Bravo, c'est fluide, léger, tendre, engagé. Je ne suis pas une grosse fan de ce genre de danse (excusez-moi) mais là, je suis touchée et je trouve cela "juste"
Choreography, dancers, acting, music… it’s all so well connected as I can’t believe someone would even consider disliking it. But I think it’s simply the proof that art isn’t for everyone, some people just live in a shallows…
@@agenttheater5 but not here. there is a tread in western countries to do this, putting a name on a production while ignoring, or relegating to small print, those who were mainly responsible for the work of art. it is leeching.
@@sitting_nut I would say that it shouldn't stop viewers from looking up the ballet and the composer or reading the credits or the small print on the dvd, but then again I was a fan of both 'Cabaret' and 'Chicago' for years before I found out both musicals were written by the same two men, so who am I to talk? :)
@@agenttheater5 it is not about viewers finding out, possibility of which is a speculative activity. it is about not giving deserved credit to true creators, and about branding names by appropriating or leeching credit from others. that is not speculation but fact. everyone should find that despicable.
@@sitting_nut I agree with you, however I wouldn't say any credit was "leeched" in this case. As a huge fan of classical music, I understand that most viewers are drawn to Matthew Bourne ballets due to his own choreography, the radical modernisation of classical ballet for modern audiences. It is for this reason his name is at the forefront - those who adored Prokofiev's score prior to watching this (such as myself) would most likely have already seen the ballet in a more conservative staging or at least would be familiar with the score, and those who didn't know the original score almost certainly didn't come for it.
