Jolanthe & Feuervogel

In the organizer's words:

Jolanthe is blind, but she knows nothing of her condition. At the behest of her father, King René, her secret must never be revealed to her. When Knight Vaudémont comes to Jolanthe one day, a way out of her isolation opens up for her.
Jolanthe is Tchaikovsky's last opera and also his most intimate. Full of delicate poetry, this rarely performed masterpiece explores the light and dark sides of the protagonists' inner lives.

Choreographer Francesco Nappa seeks and develops a translation into our world for his interpretation of Igor Stravinsky's The Firebird, which premiered in 1910. In doing so, he preserves the magic and enchantment underlying the work, both musically and in terms of content. "The energy of the Firebird becomes a cry of rebellion against all forms of oppression," says Nappa, explaining his approach. The oscillating nature of the firebird only gradually emerges. Thanks to its rediscovered original power, it is able to liberate the tormented and oppressed beings, or clones as Nappa calls them, who have been robbed of their humanity. He choreographically interprets the act of regaining self-determination as a departure into life, into light and hope. The i Move collective will be involved for the first time in a choreography for and with Ballett Hagen in individual scenes of this world premiere.
