Interview with Eric Trope
Heatscape Master Repositor
During the weeks prior to our recent premiere at Teatros del Canal, dozens of rehearsals took place at the CND headquarters, where we received three important dance figures who helped us with the assembly of the pieces in the program (Heatscape, Le Jeune Homme et la Mort and Cantata).
If you’ve been wanting to know more about Heatscape, by choreographer Justin Peck, don’t miss the details of this interview with Eric Trope, who personally worked on its staging for CND.
Trope, dancer, teacher and choreographer has managed to transmit to our dancers the essence of this piece on which he has worked so many times: a fusion of ballet and street art guided by the fundamental role of Martinů’s vibrant music.
