Sleeping Beauty
Pedro Carneiro, conductor.
Synopsis
For its inherent nature, it is in classic dance that fairies and their spells find the breeding ground to survive in our imaginary world, be it adult or children. The fantasy element of the tale is transferred to the dance where it is strengthened by physical actions and ethereal gestures of the dancers thus stamping the theatrical narrative with a suggestion of magic and weightlessness which seems to defy gravity. Why then do we insist being attracted by the illusionary world of these tales and dances? It is quite simple. Because they were not written or danced by fairies but by creatures of flesh and blood like us.
