Pure Seduction! // FAUN

By the way: Have we introduced you to our guest ballet mistress yet? Her name is Daisy Philips and she teaches Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s Faun to our dancers. Together with James O’Hara she is the original cast of Faun. And we’re very happy to have her here!

Pure Seduction! // FAUN

In 1912 Vaslav Nijinsky created his scandalizing ballet L’Après-midi d’un faune. Almost 100 years later, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui choreographed his Faun, a pas de deux in which faun and nymph slowly encounter and sinuously entwine with each other … now who’s seducing whom??? We’re already looking forward to this comapny premiere on February 3 … here are some impressions from the rehearsal of Faun with Elisa Badenes and Pablo von Sternenfels:
