Shoes enflames San Jose
Ballet San Jose of Silicon Valley opened its season Thursday evening at the Center for the Performing Arts by pursuing another path to heaven -- a rare,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], full-length narrative that audiences will pawn their mother's silver to attend.
Judging from the repeated curtain calls,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 's "Red Shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or Legs of Fire," given its American premiere with the choreographer's participation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], may be the one for this city. Unveiled by the in 1998, the piece, spiffily designed and costumed by ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], basks in sex,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], violence and smashing ensembles -- all the qualities that balletomanes hold near and dear.
Flindt's storytelling powers falter. Nevertheless, "Red Shoes" exerts undeniable lurid appeal, and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even with a crucial,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 11th-hour cast change, it summons the best from the many new and veteran dancers in 's South Bay company as it starts its second year shorn of its defunct co-venture partner in Cleveland.
Leave it to Flindt to devise an intriguing and quintessentially Danish ballet. The concept mates "The Red Shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," the tale about a woman obsessed with dance, with the saga of , an extraordinary Danish ballerina who shot herself in 1930, out of artistic frustration and a broken heart. Here,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the plight of Elna (renamed Ella) the dancer always seems more urgent than that of Elna the rejected lover.
Flindt adjusts the historical evidence. Ella's philandering husband metamorphoses into an evil genius,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Dr. Mann, and he focuses on her self- abnegating parents, vividly mimed by the company's artistic associate, , and Flindt, once a distinguished classicist.
The legs in the title allude to a dark muse (),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], garbed in crimson and spangles, who sporadically bourrees across the stage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], epitomizing Ella's obsession with dance at the expense of her own life. But,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in "The Red Shoes," Flindt ventures into Kenneth MacMillan territory without capturing the narrative sweep of the English artist at his best. He over-relies on production numbers at the expense of telling solos and duets. You depart the ballet not quite sure what ails the protagonist,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], except that she has been pressured by her parents and is torn between classical dance and Fosse-like pop excursions, which scarcely seems sufficient motivation for suicide.
Still,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "The Red Shoes" serves as a fine vehicle for the company's newest ballerina,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Alexandra Koltun. Her poise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], line and flaring extension are to be prized. Nevertheless, Koltun misses the requisite pathos and vulnerability for this part.
The company virtually devoured its assignments. lent charm and sleaze to Dr. Mann; Sayaka Tai imparted a fluid charisma to his mistress,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
's commissioned score churns and surges in the pit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. conducted the orchestra -- it includes 40 members of the disbanded San Jose Symphony -- with his wonted care.
