Canto vital

Azari Plisetski

Choreography performed on the Rondó of Gustav Mahler's 5th Symphony. "Mahler's music suggests very well those reflections that I was interested in recreating in Canto Vital. Reflections that have to do with the coexistence, sometimes dialectical, other times harmonious, of Man with three different forces of nature: the Waters, the Forests and the Aires, incorporated by many other male figures".
