Electric Life
Choreographers Elisabeth Borgermans and Thomas Vantuycom take Stravinsky's masterpiece Petrouchka as a source of inspiration for a new dance creation with nine young dancers between the ages of 16 and 25.
They depart from a new and profound reading of the music, leaving behind the original staging from 1911. Stravinsky's penchant for contrast, rhythm and speed is typical of the modern man at the beginning of the last century, when life became electrified in every way.
