BALLET EVENING
The Ballet Meetings present Ballet for Lebič, a choreographic creation by the young Slovenian choreographer Gabriela Mede. The ballet is dedicated to the year of Slovenian composer Lojze Lebič, who celebrates his 80th birthday in 2014. The connecting thread of the ballet is an interplay with the choral music The Four Seasons, touching upon individual and group relationships between women and men, women and women, men and men.
Due to the adaption of the Palatium Hall, excerpts from classical ballets will be performed in a shortened form of pas de deux, without variations and codas. The programme includes three popular pas de deux from the treasure trove of classical ballet: Harlequinade, Don Quixote and L’écumeur de mer.
Two choreographic projects entitled Koreoples (Choreodance) are aimed at encouraging the choreographic talent of young dancers in order to discover new potential in the field of ballet choreography.
Choreographed by Claudia Sovre, the ballet Stories from Venus and Mars was created in memory of composer Christoph Willibald Gluck, as this year we mark the 300th anniversary of his birth. Men, women… Women, men… Mars and Venus… Venus and Mars… We are immeasurably attracted… We cannot manage alone… And often we cannot manage together either… The stories repeat themselves… With each generation in turn… And in each era… Therefore – love one another, respect one another, and we will learn to live with one another and let others be. This is the boundless charm of life… And life is so beautiful… It is only necessary to find courage… In order to live with a smile, with an open heart, and with a bright outlook.
Youth Slovenian Ballet operates within the framework of the Operational Programme “Human Resources Development 2007–2013” Career Perspectives II “Youth Slovenian Ballet”, which is partly co-financed by the European Union within the framework of ESS and the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia. It is made up of five Slovenian female ballet dancers and three male dancers, who were selected at an audition in which they demonstrated a high level of technical and artistic ability. The group started working together in June 2014. As well as creating their own dance productions, they also collaborate in performances at the Slovene National Theatre Opera and Ballet Ljubljana and the Slovene National Theatre Maribor.
