PIERROT LUNAIRE Performed by Diana Vishneva, Islom Baimuradov, Alexander Sergeyev
Diana Vishneva stands alone as a ballerina, equally brilliant both in the classical repertoire and in contemporary dance. In Pierrot Lunaire, I have tried to use this very duplicity of her dance technique and demonstrate her inherent sense of theatricality. |  | ||
F.L.O.W. (For Love of Women) Performed by Diana Vishneva, Yana Selina, Irina Golub
I first saw Diana Vishneva on stage at the Staatsballett in Berlin when she danced as Giselle. I was quite simply staggered by the nature of her plastique, which could be compared to legato in musical terms, or with malleability in the world of inanimate objects. Later I told her that her plastique filled me with velvety sensations of the Milky Way in terms of its weightlessness. |  | ||
THREE POINT TURN Performed by Diana Vishneva, Yuri Smekalov, Irina Golub, Alexander Sergeyev, Yana Selina
The plastique construction of Three Point Turn is called on to express the mutual interlacing of consciousness, of body and soul at that time when man becomes a captive of love and submits to Fate and the inevitability of all possible circumstances on life’s path that can cast him now this way, now that way, spinning him in a whirlwind of love and drawing him in an unforeseen direction. |  |
