La Rose Malade (pas de deux)
La Rose Malade was created for Maya Plisétskaya, and it shows: hypnotising port de bras with arms moving like underwater plants. Set to the Adagietto from Mahler’s Fifth Symphony the music and subdued lighting are beautiful by themselves. Add a wonderful couple of dancers and the result is bewitching.
- World premiere by: the National Ballet of Marseille at the Opera Theater, Marseille (France) in 1973
- Premiere by Compañía Nacional de Danza: (Ballet del Teatro Lírico Nacional) at Teatro Principal de Zaragoza (Spain), December 15th 1987
Choreography based on William´s Blake poem The marriage of heaven and hell based upon Gustav Mahler´s fifth symphony Adaggietto.
O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
