ballet companies in the world can seem increasingly interchangeable in the repertoire and style, but the National Ballet of China Peony Pavilion stands out as an original, captivating. Although the choreography is based on Western dance Fei Bo and Guo Wenjing contributions eclectic score big pieces of Debussy and Ravel, the ballet still able to come from nowhere, but Beijing.
His story is based on the Chinese equivalent of Romeo and Juliet: the history of 16th century passion pitted against all odds. In contrast in the red blood of the story of Shakespeare, however, Peony Pavilion is told through a rarefied language of colors, symbols and visions. Ballet heroin, Liniang, falls only in a dream, and the effect this has on his tumultuous life is expressed through a sequence of charming vignettes, but highly ritualized. The anguish of desire you feel when you wake up is subcontracted by the presence of his two alter egos: the scarlet flower, and the goddess cold, Kunqu opera singer Liniang slip, whose words call to reason . Waves of anxiety Liniang still, well, Foucault through all that follows a chorus of young girls dressed in white, whose delicate tendrils of the dance seems shaken by gusts of desire. Images of the most beautiful scene Liniang continue as dies for love and turned through the snowflakes that fall into a dark underworld.
However, while the characters 'emotions are still very restricted and codified, the poetics of holding the event in collaboration with the dancers' exquisitely nuanced style of approaching a strange world traffic. The unique power of Peony Pavilion, and remove exotic ballets of Western history, has been consolidated in the last scene. Liniang finally surrendered to the arms of her lover, but not in a routine fairytale wedding. However, the mortal and spirit worlds come together in a wild dance, the circle rolls - a cosmic union that celebrates the union of all the universe

as a challenge the title of the book, Bailey does not dwell on the tragedy of Vanya on the expense of others. Misfortune in the veins of everyone here, as in all the best productions of Chekhov, everyone has their moment in the shade. The sadness is stronger, too, for a moment, it seems that Astrov and Yelena can really have a desire to escape to happiness. Their appeal is not limited to feed the despair, but it takes a real sexual charge. William Houston Astrov is sturdy and practical, the woman who embraces and pell-friendly: as always, it is impossible to hear his lament for the decline in its landscape, not impressed by the prescience of Chekhov. Yelena Lucinda Millward, who obviously has trouble keeping the lid on their simmerings (from the beginning tended to appear fully, by absorbing heat) is obviously eager to escape the gallows for valetudinarian her husband - and understandably as David Yelland, although funny, exaggerated cadences sermonical and pompous, and it becomes difficult to imagine ever landed like a desirable woman.
