“The twenty minute performance shakes the spectators out of their seats, carries them away into that Amazonian selva to which the ballet is devoted to, and upon termination leaves them in mute amazement catching breath for a long time. Forest dances look as fresh as a morning in the Amazonian selva. Incessant deep breathing of the real forest (the veritable world; true theater) is conveyed by the ensemble with surprising accuracy. Possibly we have never - neither in the Bolshoi, nor in Mariisnky theaters – seen such readiness of actors to obey, believe the author and translate his work.  Never have we seen such a remarkable result”.

Anna Gordeyeva. "News Time"

Por Vos Muero

Composer Spanish music of the XVI-XVII centuries
Choreography Nacho Duato 
Premiere May 27, 2011

Nacho Duato has inspired in old Spanish music of XV and XVI centuries together with some of the most beautiful verses of the Spanish poet Garcilaso de la Vega. Music and poetry connect the obvious contemporary dance of Por Vos Muero to his historic reference.
In XV and XVI centuries dances formed part of the cultural expression of people, including all social hierarchies, and therefore they produced a honest reflection of culture of that time. Por Vos Muero wants to pay a tribute to the very important role that dance played in every sort of social event during those ancient times.
