Electra
“Electra” Catherine Petit, Carine Auberger
|
The story was enriched with the use of intensive symbols and strong body language. The personal relationships between the characters was developed subtly, underlining the destructive violence of the piece - once again the choreography with its extremely forceful, athletic and transparent movement, brought the dancers to their feasible limits. The Bielefeld Company performs this piece of demanding, lively choreographed dance theatre, with sovereignty and a very aesthetic interpretation. Uta Jostwerner, Westfalen-Blatt The public were convinced by Electra-Premiere ...the public experienced an emotionally pact evening with this “Electra”, which makes heavy demands with its brilliant modern staging. It is definitely a considerable major achievement, for both choreographer and the company. Anne Tophinke, Neue Westfälische ...the entrance of the title heroine Electra was very impressive, as was the lyrical death of Iphigenia. What is so impressive with this poetical dance poem is the distinctive, collective spirit of the company, even when Lansdale in the second half often is extremely brutal in the way he comes to terms with the story, that any way has a very violent end. The public celebrated the dance premiere, once again impressed with the talented, industrious dance company and their choreographer. Dr. Ulrich Gehre, Die Glocke |
