Holberg Suite - Tony Fabre

Choreography: Tony Fabre
Music: Edvard Grieg (Holberg Suite)
Costumes: Tony Fabre (in collaboration with Ismael Aznar)
Light Design: Nicolás Fischtel (A.A.I.)

World premiere by the Compañía Nacional de Danza 2 at Teatro Albéniz in Madrid, on May 25, 2000.

Holberg Suite is Tony Fabre's choreography inspired by the music of the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843-1907).
Grieg's music offers to Fabre the ideal accompaniment for an abstract work where the images happen without a plot and provide him total freedom at the moment of creation. The absence of scenery makes the music and choreography the only protagonists of this trip. With this work the spectator is invited to clear his mind: to liberate it in order to enjoy this.
Edvard Grieg composed this score for the celebration of the bicentennial of the birth of the Norwegian playwright Ludvig Holberg, also known as the Molière of the North. Grieg is the most famous Norwegian composer and the first Scandinavian composer universally recognised.
