Repertoire
Wings (Alas)
Alas (Wings), presented for the first time at the Cantabria Festival Palace, is an exceptional commitment that also bears the signature of the Slovenian Tomaz Pandur as theater director. Two artists of international prestige united in an unusual creation experience with a common objective: the search for a new vocabulary through a true fusion of disciplines, beyond the mere combination of scenic languages. The result of this meeting is Alas, a complete ballet that is neither theater-dance nor dance-theater, but the fruit of a “different work process that offers new avenues of exploration for the theater of the future,” explain its creators.
- World premiere by: Compañía Nacional de Danza at Palacio de Festivales de Cantabria, Santander (Spain), April 28th 2006
Tomaz Pandur made himself known in Spain with Sherezada in 1990, and last year he set Infierno with Centro Dramático Nacional. Considered one of the most internationally renowned scenic contemporary creators, his works usually show an original managing of the scenographic skill to the service of irreproachable dramatic interpretations giving place to images of overwhelming beauty.
This production will count with original music composed by Pedro Alcalde and Sergio Caballero. Both of them composed previous works for Compañía Nacional de Danza: Herrumbre (2004) and Diecisiete (2005). Likewise, Duato will use music of Arvo Pärt, Jules Massenet and Pawel Szymanski. On the other hand, Duato will count with one of his most faithful and successful collaborators since years: Brad Fields, who will take care of the light design of this ambitious project.
