Fabre, as in all his
works, he finds the inspiration
in the music.
In
this one, his third choreography
for Compañía
Nacional de Danza 2,
he’s left to go
for Kevin Volans and Kronos
Quartet. According to
Volans, the difference
between the European music
and the African one it’s
not in the culture. It
takes root in the environment:
the landscapes, the singing
of the birds... White
Man Sleeps impregnates
the stage of a certain
ethnic and tribal environment,
without giving the back
to the base of the classic
language.
Kevin
Volans's music, Irish
composer born in South
Africa, has been used
by numerous companies
of ballet of the whole
world. White Man
Sleeps was included
in the Compact Disc of
Kronos Quartet, Pieces
of Africa, which
was converted into the
second classic CD most
sold in USA in 1993.
From they creation in
1973, Kronos Quartetare known by they artistic
vision and bold dedication
to the musical experimentation.
