Maiorca

In Maiorca, at the invitation of Jorge Salavisa, Paulo Ribeiro choreographs based on Chopin’s Preludes, performed by Pedro Burmester, urging the audience to let themselves be carried away without claiming rationality, which is so often limiting. The choreographer returns to the essence of creating a piece to the scale of the music. It is not the movement that counts, rather its genesis. Just as Chopin spoke in favour of the precedence of form to the detriment of the soul.

*This show was part of the celebrations of the bicentenary of the birth of Frédéric Chopin.
