Beauty and the Beast: A Gothic Romance
Set in the mysterious Pine Barrens in early 19th century, a Narrator in the persona of the original author, Madam Le Prince de Beaumont, guides us through this love-lost, love-regained romantic story. Danced to string sonatas composed in 1804 by the then 12 year-old Italian composer Gioachino Rosinni, this ballet also includes a traditional bone-playing finale and a happily-ever-after ending. The Uncertain Steps were the occasionally improvised moments in Baroque dancing and three couples bring these elegant dances to life. Played live by cellist Şölen Dikener, this ballet unfolds in patterns, both formal and decorative, inspired by the Bach's Cello Suite No. 6.
