Choreographer’s narrative “Death and the Maiden” has a twist unlike traditional representation with the contrast between the dark figure of death and decay, and the female body as symbol of youth, beauty and hope. He has introduced a third figure, the lover. In the center of the piece lies the interaction of the trio, not a violent struggling between antagonists, death and the lover, trying to possess the girl. They are more like walking together in the same way to their own destination.
