Casse-Noisette - Europa Danse Company

in agreement with EUROPA DANSE COMPANY CASSE NOISETTE Europa Danse Company Choreography Laurent Drousie Music Piotr Ilitch Tchaïkovski This ballet opens in the festive setting of Clara's 18th birthday celebration, surrounded by her family. Everyone is celebrating the young woman's coming of age. Later that evening, Clara goes to join her friends to continue the party. On the way, the demons that have troubled her throughout her childhood return to haunt her. It is at this moment that the Nutcracker appears to help Clara defeat these monsters from the past. To bring this work up to date, the atmosphere of this version will transport you to an enchanting, magical, and fairy-tale world while retaining Tchaïkovski's essential musical ambiance for this ballet. The lightness of the music will contrast with the particular climate of the various encounters and the blend of cultures. It is one of the most famous and accessible ballets in the world of dance. Laurent Drousie offers a new, more contemporary and modern version that does not omit the foundations of this rite of passage – a young girl becoming a woman who meets her first love – but offers it another interpretation.
