¡M. Baryshnikov & A. Laguna "PLACE"
¡Ballet
Description
[Machine Translation] In November 2009, Baryshnikov's fans, ranging in age from 16 to 96, packed the Lyon Opera House for the autumn festival. Starting in Santa Monica, the festival featured a series of "Baryshnikov Evenings" at various venues. One of the short films is shown in this video. (The body of the star of ABT, who defected to the U.S. in 1974 and has been shining for 35 years, is now 61 years old and has a deeper taste for the music. Ana Laguna, the muse of Mats Ek, is also 54 years old. In this film ( PLACE ), the conflict between a man and a woman who have aged is depicted. They seek each other's "place" in the world. Of course, they do not have the vigor of their heyday. There are no light jumps, no endlessly spinning turns. However, Baryshnikov himself is there. This is a work that cannot be performed without aging. The choreography is by Mats Ek, a contemporary genius. Eck is a choreographer who has always attracted attention for his surrealistic style in which he reinterprets the classics with innovative ideas, including ( Apartman ) commissioned by the Paris Opera and ( Giselle ) and ( Swan Lake ). The performance by the Fresh Quartet, a well-known favorite in Ek's works, is also wistful and heartbreaking. The film was shot and directed by Jonas Akerlund, who has directed music videos for many top artists, including Madonna, U2, Christina Aguilera, Metallica, and the Rolling Stones, and is regarded as a master of the music video industry.
