Blue Lady Revisited, one of the most anticipated parts of the programming of Regional Dance Víctor Villegas Auditorium of Murcia, founded in 1983 by the legendary Carolyn Carlson and performed today by Finland's Tero Saarinen, may be tomorrow, Tuesday, October 30 20:00.
Tickets for the reunion with a piece that caused a sensation in its day and is back in full force renewed cost between 15 and 20 Euros.
Years ago and was planning to replace Carolyn Carlson Blue Lady, a type of project you do not get in his career.
As a choreographer little inclined to re-explore his repertoire, so far only had entrusted one of its own, Density 21.5, dancers Michaël Denard and Jean-Christophe Pare of the Paris Opera.
Blue Lady was released on October 11, 1983 at the Teatro de la Fenice in Venice, where it caused a sensation.
It was played continuously over ten years around the world and marked the emergence of creative talent and interpretative Carlson, that this piece achieved artistic maturity and achieved a remarkable wealth of movement.
On stage, music by Rene Aubry, huge Venetian blinds, a tree and a swirl of robes and hats set the stage lavish poetic dance.
Blue Lady is an essential work in the path of the dancer and choreographer who conceived during the time he ran the Fenice in Venice.
This is one of deep emotional charge that arose when it was in a state of gestation of her first and only child (now a young composer of 28 years).
With sensitivity to the surface, the young and famous and Carolyn came a universalist and beautiful work, which for two decades walked halfway across the world but never got to play in Spain.
Finally pay off this debt to our country, only delegating to another execution.
Why?
She explains, from his headquarters Chorégraphique Centre National de Roubaix Nord-Pas de Calais (France), where he lives and works since 2004.
"For years now toying with the idea of revisiting this work. It is not something they did often, only once before, with 'Density 21.5'. But Blue Lady is very special to me. On the other hand, no I wanted to be a mimetic review, trying to trace the original. Hence Revisited is titled Blue Lady. "
Revisited Blue Lady Blue Lady shares the primeval the fact that this is one of just over an hour, with music by her husband, Rene Aubry, and a sunset scene that includes huge blinds, tree skirts and numerous hats.
With all that the performer paints a portrait gallery of women that covers the space of a lifetime.
But the 2010 version is no interpreter to the author herself, now graying, but to a large Scandinavian ballet, Tero Saarinen, for which Carlson has previously invented three solos.
"I did not use a dancer to review this piece. It was too obvious. In addition, Blue Lady is archetypes of human beings: joy, sadness, mysticism, love," says Carlson.
"So why not a man? Addition, Tero is perfect for his charisma, stage presence and a bit androgynous image. Butho has studied in Japan and has a great facility to play female characters. Always fascinated me Japan's culture: Buddhism, calligraphy, philosophy ... In my soul, I'm a little Japanese. In this work Tero see as a 'onnagata', these male actors in drag to play female roles in traditional Kabuki theater. It has a very expressive ambivalence that is ideal for Blue Lady. "
She met her favorite performer when he spent a season working in the Theater of the City of Helsinki.
Poet and painter, also a dancer and choreographer, her fans should not miss the book Solo, poèmes et encres, mixing lines and-ink drawings, Carolyn Carlson defines herself as a restless woman traveler, who has worked in California, New York, Paris, Venice, Helsinki, Stockholm and today it does in Roubaix, France's northern border with Belgium, because they have a residence, a school, a beautiful theater and all the facilities to run a dance company and these performances.
Blue Lady was his most crucial, that they say that in 1983, changed his way of seeing the world.
How do you see in 2010?
"I worry about the ecology and the Middle East conflict is meaningless," he says.
"But essentially, I'm still a dreamer and optimist."
