Repertoire

Folie d’Espagne

Lionel Hoche

A schizophrenic infanta...from Velazquez to Almodovar...interbreeding of precious sophistication and unrestrained exuberance.
Rupture – outburst - the struggle of two opposing forces within the infanta, embodied in the breaking up of her identity, the separation of her image. A few moments of madness, a whirling climax, rapprochement following exhaustion to return to unity.

  • World premiere by Compañía Nacional de Danza: at Teatro de Madrid, Madrid (España), April 20th 1994
