Скачать или смотреть Fantasque (Excerpt) by Dance Heginbotham at NYU Skirball

Commissioned and Produced by Bard SummerScape, Fantasque is an ebullient and magical pageant created by choreographer John Heginbotham and puppeteer Amy Trompetter, and inspired by the Ballet Russes' 1919 production of La Boutique Fantasque. Giant puppets and human dancers join forces to create a fable of a battle of light and darkness, with a fantastical cast of characters featuring giant babies, blue angels, devils, rats, and a restaurant where the customers are tuxedo-wearing fish. Performed to live music composed by Gioachino Rossini and Ottorino Respighi, Fantasque ruminates on morality and immorality as seen through a child’s eyes in a series of connected vignettes bound by an unconventional and tender merging of puppetry and dance.
