六位國際編舞家,五齣精采當代芭蕾作品,一場非同凡響的演出!
駐荷蘭美國編舞施洛普夏爾以著名巴洛克作曲家韓德爾引人入勝的琴音編創新作《Handelwerk》,探索古典芭蕾在現代的角色,以此開展為期三年的駐團藝術家計劃。香港芭蕾舞團藝術總監衛承天以莫扎特的名曲《小夜曲》創作世界首演作品《第二樂章》,為大家帶來懾人心魄的雙人舞。阮日廣《越.界》的選段則為香港首演,作品融合不同舞蹈形式,象徵克服個人挑戰的力量和韌性。
節目更包括本地著名編舞家李思颺和王丹琦的得獎作品《Galatea & Pygmalion》。舞作在格拉斯振奮人心的音樂下,重述經典希臘神話中雕塑家皮格馬利翁和他栩栩如生的雕塑作品葛拉蒂的故事,探討創作者與作品間的關係;皮格馬利翁百年歸老,石像葛拉蒂卻永恆留傳。另有芭蕾界當今炙手可熱女編舞家奧喬亞極富創意的《極端黑暗》,由六位活力型男與24頂圓禮帽動人演繹。
五齣作品必定令您一看難忘,不容錯過!

Platform: Zoom
Synopsis: Join us for an extraordinary production with five intriguing contemporary ballets by six international dance-makers.
Grappling with the role of ballet in the modern world, Holland-based American choreographer Stephen Shropshire begins a three-year artistic residency with Hong Kong Ballet with Handelwerk, an intriguing new work set to sublime music by celebrated baroque composer George Frideric Handel. HKB’s Artistic Director Septime Webre’s world premiere of Second Movement, set to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, brings together two stunning dancers in an epic duet. An excerpt from Nguyen Ngoc Anh’s Beyond the Line, a fusion of dance forms that symbolise strength and resilience to overcome personal challenges, premieres in Hong Kong.
The programme also features an award-winning piece by Hong Kong choreographic duo Justyne Li and Wong Tan-ki. Set to Philip Glass' driving score, their riveting Galatea & Pygmalion retells the classic Greek myth of the sculptor Pygmalion and his lifelike statue Galatea, exploring the relationship between a creator and their creation. Although Pygmalion eventually passed away, Galatea remained forever. Finally, the current ‘It Girl of Ballet’ Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s physically charged ballet Sombrerisimo features six blazing male leads and their incredibly malleable bowler hats in this sensual, innovative work.
This will be an unforgettable programme filled with inspiring dance that you won’t want to miss!
