Performance : “ L@ BELL@ DURMIENTE”

Choreography: Jean Philippe Dury

Place: Teatro Jaime Salom (Parla)

Description: In the story of The Sleeping Beauty, a young princess sleeps for a hundred years hidden in a palace waiting to be awakened with a kiss. The vegetation of the forest prevents anyone from approaching.
Based on this idea, the choreographer Jean Philippe Dury remakes the story wondering how much hidden beauty is waiting to be discovered. The rereading of this fairy tale proposes a fun role play that allows you to deepen equality.
All roles, princes, princesses, fairies, sorcerers or witches can be exchanged, as if it were a dream. Thus, he develops a fresh, youthful and passionate amusement where there are as many “Sleeping Beauties” as there are people. The spectator does not know who the princess is and who the prince is. Who sleeps or who is awake.

Performance: “Romeo y Julieta”

Choreography: Jean Philippe Dury

Place: Teatre Auditori de Granollers (Barcelona)

Description:

Dury’s version of Shakespeare’s most known love tragedy shows two conscious adults and two families, two languages, representing different cultural groups: contemporary dance mixed with the traditional Spanish dance. The choreography develops new movements and uses traditional aspects -such as “castañuelas”, fans or the “bata de cola“ dress- become contemporary tools in a rich exchange between the codes of Spanish dance, flamenco and contemporary dance.

This new version of Romeo and Juliet  proposes a new reading beyond gender characteristics playing with the characters, exchanging female and male roles. Romeo and Juliet are not two crazy teenagers. They are aware of their tragedy and they know that for them the miscegenation is impossible. Death hangs over them.
