Composer: Ludwig Van Beethoven Choreography: Sol Leon Choreography: Paul Lightfoot Ballet company: Nederlands Dans theater
Orchestra: Bolshoi Theatre Symphony Orchestra
Sehnsucht, which cannot be translated but means as much as homesickness or
‘strong desire’, starts in a revolving lounge with a charming, magical duet that
keeps surprising. The touching music makes you feel melancholic. Eventually,
Beethoven’s music erupts, culminating in a bombastic group dance on the
stage.
After performances in New York, St Petersburg and London, the
acclaimed double bill Sehnsucht (2009) Schmetterling (2010) returns to The
Netherlands. For the first piece, creators Sol Leon and Paul Lightfoot were
inspired by the German word Sehnsucht, ‘yearning’, as well as the bombastic
music of Beethoven. Schmetterling means butterfly and refers to the transience
of existence. All possible love stories echo through various duets and trios,
set to the music of indie rock band Magnetic Fields and composer Max Richter.
