Dire merci
It's Sensory Saturday! These dancers from the Ballet de L’Opera National de Paris are far away from us and distant from one another, but the sense of the tactile that they evoke is extreme. The music they chose, “Dance of the Knights,” comes from Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet,” and is positioned within the Capulet Ball where Juliet first meets Romeo. It is full of the desire to touch and be touched, and, as the director notes, “fear, hope, and the will to raise one’s head.” They dedicated the dance to the frontline workers, hoping “to make the confinement of the French a little less painful.” Enjoy every moment of this breathtaking piece.
Thank you Dr. Lucy Willis for sending this.
