The rock ballet “Blind forgiveness” is a production in which the neoclassical dance picture is intertwined with the presentation of the idea of Art Nouveau style ballet, where there is a disclosure of the plot through a theatrical monologue. One can say that this is a new page in the multi-volume edition of “Ballet”. “Blind Forgiveness” is an innovative rock ballet that combines elements of classical art and modern musical trends. It is presented in the format of a full-length rock ballet for a symphony orchestra, which makes it unique in its kind.
There is the original libretto of 12 scenes, describing the history of events taking place in modern society, where often the priorities are anything but positive intentions. Kirill Radev masterfully disclosed rhythmical images endowed with characteristic features and expressed the diversity of human feelings, states and relationships in original choreographic language. The musical score, created by composer Arseni Smirnov, revealed the production’s depth and “soul”.
