PAQUITA-SZVIT

There are few works in the history of classical ballet that have as many versions as the Paquita Suite, or Paquita Grand pas (classique). Marius Petipa has created a new work from the original French ballet Paquita, from which he has selected the main numbers in collaboration with composer Ludwig Minkus. Since its premiere in Russia in 1882, the work has been performed around the world, using as many variations and solos as the choreographer of the production can dream up, and even adding as many from outside sources. A further special feature of the piece is that the dancers who perform often decide which number they will dance, tailored to their own personalities. This time, ballet masters Albert Mirzoyan and Irina Prokofieva and ballet director Tamás Solymosi, great masters of the Hungarian National Ballet, will adapt and perform Petipa's choreography.

PETITE MORT

Jiří Kylián, who has directed the Dutch Dance Theatre for more than a quarter of a century, is no stranger to Hungarian audiences. Some of his one-act works have already appeared in the repertoire of the Hungarian National Ballet, because Kylián's works have a place in the repertoire of all companies that consider it important to present the outstanding ballet artists of our own time alongside the values of the past. Kylián is an exceptionally talented choreographer who has built on the foundations of the genre and expanded its boundaries. His main inspiration is music, and his dynamic dance movements reflect the mood and structure of musical works. His choreographies, while never telling stories, are accessible and full of unforgettable characters. Kylián has created several dance works to music by Mozart. To mark the 200th anniversary of the composer's death, a special ballet was created to honour the great composer. It features six women, six men and six swords, with baroque costumes and bizarre crinolines as props. This ballet from the choreographer's mature period is characterised by bold spectacle, elegance and a sense of style, and has been in the repertoire of the Hungarian National Ballet since May 2013.

SIX DANCES

"...I decided that I could not simply create a series of dances reflecting the composer's sense of humour and musical genius. Instead, I choreographed six seemingly confusing images..." - said Jiří Kylián about the Six Dances. Kylián has based his dance piece on the dictionary definition of burlesque, the absurd situations and situational comedy of clumsy heroes in rice-pod wigs, sometimes behaving unrealistically, and the playfulness of Mozart. The dancers seem to step out of a Mozart-era panopticon, and then, precisely because of the novelty, freshness and dizzying dynamism of the choreography, they become increasingly modern, timeless heroes of Kylián's absurdist creative world. The Six Dances is one of the few contemporary ballet works that demands a high level of classical education, but at the same time manages to make everyone who sees it laugh heartily, from children to old age. Jiří Kylián was awarded the Seregi Prize of the Hungarian State Opera in 2015.

FAQ

Etudes is a one-act ballet that is a huge challenge for ballet companies. Its theme is classical ballet technique itself, a training for school, for everyday life, a measure of knowledge and professionalism. Perhaps this is why the renowned American dance critic Arlene Croce called the work "anti-ballet". Because ballet traditionally presents the perfection of dance skills to the audience in the service of content, the painstaking daily practice is usually hidden from the audience. For the dancer, the day's work takes place in the ballet hall, where the "vocabulary" of dance is formed, each on his or her own body, which then forms the basis for the performance of choreographies on stage. The audience only sees the result. Danish choreographer Harald Lander, however, has decided to let the audience in on the act: he shows on stage how ballet practice is constructed, how the pure beauty of classical movements and steps triumphs over the laws of physics. Since its rediscovery in Budapest, Etudes has been a tremendous opportunity for the company's soloists and a delightful, spectacular entertainment for the audience.
