The Long Christmas Dinner
based on the play of the same name by Thornton Wilder, music by Antonio Vivaldi
FRIENDS is a one-act ballet set to music by P. Vasks.
It took sixteen years for choreographer Radu Poklitaru to decide to tackle the work of composer Peteris Vasks again, but this time he chose his cello concerto. The sound of the cello, with its low and deep tones, will vividly emphasise the mood of the new production.
FRIENDS is based on a story that is imbued not only with the sad present of war, but also with moments of light in life - love, friendship, warmth, jealousy, despair, mysterious touches, flickering hope and all the things that make up life. Four people - two women and two men - will live the stunning music of Peteris Vasks in dance as sincerely as the distance between the stage and the audience, between the space of theatrical existence and everyday life, will allow them to do.
