Shining Moments in Neoclassical & Modern Ballet
Pas de Deux from Christopher Wheeldon's Ghosts
Inspired by a short musical piece by C.F. Kip Winger,Christopher Wheeldon, one of the hottest choreographers today, drew on the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe and their evocative phrases in choreographing Ghosts.The idea of a mass gathering of souls after a tragedy creates the atmosphere, working like 'perfume' than a literal ghost story. The mood conjures '"images of a community struggling to define itself, its people united by their search for understanding in a world unknown to them,'"according to Wheeldon.
'"Ghosts is a neoclassic delight. With its continuous flow and music materialized in movement, it is fascinating, engrossing and fulfilling.'" (SF Examiner) Tan Yuan Yuan and Damian Smith will perform a pas de deux from this new piece to Hong Kong audiences.
