Repertoire

Alone, for a second

Nacho Duato

Alone, for a Second has as its musical background compositions by Erik Satie arranged by Thomas Willbrandt. In a marked turn in his personal style, the choreographer concentrates the emotional intensity of this ballet in the static aspects of the movement, in the images, like a poet who speaks to us both in silences and in words.

  • World premiere by: the Netherlands Dans Theater at AT&T Danstheater, Den Haag (Holland), September 9th 1993
  • Premiere by Compañía Nacional de Danza: at Teatro de la Zarzuela, Madrid (Spain), December 16th 1993
  • Premiere by Compañía Nacional de Danza 2: at Teatro de la Maestranza, Sevilla (Spain), November 14th 2002
ALONE-JUST-FOR-A-SECOND-DESTACADA

A woman, central character of the ballet, leads us through the fine line that divides the concience and the inconcience, being this, one of the most intimate Duato’s work.
