Ravel by Cherkaoui/Verbruggen
Равель: балеты Шеркауи и Вербрюггена
On the stage of the Royal Ballet of Flanders, two ballets set to Ravel's music are brought together in a single evening.
Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" in Ravel's orchestral version serves as the foundation for a spectacular and refined production titled "Exhibition" by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, while Jeroen Verbruggen stages a story of love and loss set to Ravel's "Mother Goose".
What unites these two works goes beyond their shared composer — it is their approach to interpreting the musical material, an attempt not merely to illustrate the music but to uncover its inner meaning. In the creators' own words, the productions turned out to be journeys through emotions, through light and dark memories.
