One-act ballet
Music - E. Piaf, C. Dumont and J. Brel in the treatment of N. Chepurenko
Idea, choreography, and costumes - Ricardo Amarante
The ballet is inspired by the extraordinary life and delightful music of the French singer Edith Piaf. Each duet gives rise to feelings of tremulous love, then the fear of indifference and, finally, the tragedy of loss. Her music was a complete reflection of her fate. The song “the Hymn of Love” tells of the feelings that she, like everyone else, experiences at the beginning of the nascent relationship. Over time, most of her songs reveal the difficulties in relationships. An example of this was a fascinating interpretation of Do not abandon me. And one of the strongest feelings that any of us can experience with the loss of a loved one is expressed in the song My God. Born after the sudden death of the singer’s beloved, the song, like a mirror of her soul, reflects the depth of the tragedy that befell this great love story.
