Abstract
The Junior Ballet will present its own ballet evening with New Creations. Besides Ben Van Cauwenbergh’s master stroke, Les Bourgeois, danced to Jacques Brel’s eponymous chanson, and Itzik Galili’s witty threesome, The Sofa, three pieces created in 2014 especially for Zurich Ballet’s junior company can be seen this season. In Paysage obscure, Ballet Director Christian Spuck develops an idiosyncratic landscape painting to the accompaniment of the Adagio from Franz Schubert’s famous C major String Quintet. In Passing by, Eva Dewaele, Ballet Mistress of Zurich Ballet since 2014, refers to the reality of work and life for the dancers of the Junior Ballet. And in Tauwetter, Zurich Ballet soloist Filipe Portugal, who has already proven his talent as a choreographer on several occasions, recounts the experiences of many dancers on their path from classical ballet to modern dance.
