MONAXIA A mystical, philosophical story that explores the idea that good can turn into evil, a gift into a curse, that everything comes at a price, and that even power can be powerless. The heroine of the performance is radiant—full of energy, life, and boundless desires. She is a goddess in the flesh, granted immortality by the Creator. Living one life after another, delving into the depths of human souls, and with the ability to remain on Earth forever, she finds herself utterly alone. Her unfading beauty, a dream coveted by many, becomes a gift that transforms into a curse. Earthly passion, limitless love, and the joy of motherhood—everything that once gave her life meaning and purpose—slips through her fingers like grains of sand. Condemned to immortality, she is left in endless solitude with no escape in sight. Did she choose this life for herself? Can such a life hold any meaning? The answers remain shrouded in mystery, awaiting discovery in the powerful finale of the ballet. Music: Goldmund, Arca, Anna Muller & Nils Director-Choreographer: Dmitry Maslennikov |
LOVE SONG The smallest details, any smell, word or song can recall our memories. They force us to relive a particular stage of life or a love story and make us comprehend the world of senses differently. If the event is bright enough, a mental spiral appears and draws us deeper into the whirlpool. The memories get distorted and exaggerated, happy moments are seemed more exalted, the pain is worse, thus there emerges a picture that is a little bit of reality, but at the same time it helps us to clarify the events and correlate them in time. Concept and choreography: Andrey Kaydanovskiy Music: Jacque Brel, Leslie Bricusse, Anthony Newley, Dmitry Cheglakov Costume Design: Karoline Hogl Dramaturgy: Richard Schmetterer |
