«А Journey of a memory» - a ballet that will turn the mind and make you wonder

The «Astana Ballet» Theater presents the world premiere of the ballet «A Journey of a Memory» - a performance that will take the audience to the world of illusory interlacing of human memory.

How often we try to find answers to our present questions from the past? And is it possible? The main character, as if expressing the innermost thoughts of everyone, «leads the conversation» with a reflection of her past about the real world and imaginary, dusty by the wind of changeable memory. We all come from childhood, as she is in this ballet - a lost child of human life, her elusive beauty and sadness.

«Everyone has memories, both good and bad. At a certain moment, they disappear for us, but continue to live in our subconscious, influencing the present and shaping the future», - the choreographer shared his thoughts.

Young German choreographer Raimondo Rebeck has a fresh look at art and his own original vision of how to immerse the public into the world of the mysterious unconscious. Besides, he is, if not yet, then a candidate for the master. Being a bright dancer adored by critics in his youth, Rebeck, as a choreographer, creates ballets that are pleasant to perform, there are live people-artists who live, breathe, feel and love. It seems that the viewer is watching from the side of the beautiful unique process of passionate immersion in the dance.

Scenography, in which imitation of old gold frames, candles on worn candelabra with a long history, is used, takes effect in the 17-18 centuries. Modern plastic in this design creates an atmosphere that inspires reflection, and allows everyone to find in action the answers to their concerns.

The premiere of the ballet «А Journey of Memory» will be held on May 11-12, 2019. Tickets are already on sale.
