"There are only two real tragedies in life: the first - when you do not get what you want, and the second - when you get it", Oscar Wilde expressed the essence of human desires in one of his brilliant statements. His unexpected and stunning interpretation of the well-known biblical story inspired the choreographer to create this performance. Choreographically, the ballet was presented in the style of graphic plastics with elements of orientalism. It used a variety of performance techniques: dance on pointes and barefoot.
