PRESENTATION

REDUNDANCes
An original "ballet" that no one really needed

PLYFA

27 & 28 November 2024
18:30 & 21:00


The choreographer Dimitris Mytilinaios presents this year his new work REDUNDANCes. Insisting on experimenting with the reformulation of the ballet stage code, he now stages a choreographic collage of remixed classical variations.


The title oscillates between "redundant dances" and "redundancies of dance", i.e. "redundant dances" and "redundancies of dance", and touches sarcastically both on the debate regarding utilitarian and useful art and on the tendency for symbolic meaning and narrative association of the work art with modern life. At the same time, in a humorous tone, the work refers on the one hand to the feeling that it is unnecessary to do something more difficult (in this case dancing) and on the other hand to the difficulty of feeling that what one does is unnecessary.


The play consists of sixteen covered variations and unfolds in four acts. The composer, Andis Skordis, re-orchestrates the orchestral passages and gives us their percussive versions. Reverently preserving the original scores, the group is tested in all combinations (soli, duets, trios, quartets and quintet) based on an apparent libretto from which the roles also arise: the Prince, the Maid, the Cook, the King of the Upland and the Princess of the Upland. The idea of percussive covers aims at the aesthetic renewal of the familiar repertoire, disrupting the relationship between rhythm and melody and emphasizing elements that may not be prominent in the original versions, while the libretto unifies the fragments of the ballets and at the same time opens a window to the imagination.


Excerpts from: Études, Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, Sylvia, Swan Lake, Sylphide, Petrushka, Laurencia, Giselle, Diana and Actaeon, Romeo and Juliet and The Story of Manon are used in the performance.
