Opera House – A ballet night

14 & 15 April, 8.00 pm
Hanoi Opera House

“… Black Silk is a visual knockout …”
“The primitive force in Finnish Jorma Uotinen’s finishing “Black Water” beats most things, an almost overpowering broadside that speaks to the spinal cord as much as the eye and intellect.”
“… a deeply fascinating production.”

Program

Part I
Black Water
Choroegrapher: Jorma Uotinen
To the performance Black Silk Finnish dance nestor, Jorma Uotinen created an entirely new piece for Skånes Dansteater. Black Water is a magnificent choreography with 17 dancers, stunning lighting design, suggestive costumes and innovative music. To the performance a whole new musical composition was created. Jonas Nydesjö rearranged the Finnish heavy metal band Nightwish album Dark Passion Play into a symphonic piece that in Malmö was performed by Malmö Opera orchestra and opera choir. Over stage hovers a sculpture, Dark Cloud, by Finnish artist Kimmo Schroderus.

Interval

Part II
Bamboo rain- Choreographer: Pontus
Music: J. Bach
Costume: La Hang

“Returning to Vietnam two years after creating “Heart of Silk” for the company, I wanted to work with the dancers in a more interactive way. This new piece explores intimate human encounters through intricate partnering. Set on a simple theme of bamboo, its strength and fluidity is echoed in the flowing movement of the dancers.”

  1. I am very surprised that you did not write anything after the performance because it was an extraordinary perofrmance of the kind which I never saw already many years . It would be very interesting to read your opinion about the 2 ballets ( Vietnamese band and Sweddish band )

    • Hi Gaby,
      You’re right, it was an extraordinary performance – so where are KVT’s comments??
      Well, please be patient, they are coming. It takes a little time to get the comments translated into Vietnamese, but they are on their way!
      Thanks for your comment.
