LA SYLPHIDE

In the organizer's words:

Choreography Pierre Lacotte after Filippo Taglioni. Music by Jean-Madeleine Schneitzhoeffer, Ludwig Wilhelm Maurer.

Ballet in two acts

Sylphs (also known as sylphs) are spirits associated with the element of air. La Sylphide tells the story of how James, a young Scottish farmer, increasingly falls under the spell of a sylph. Only he can see the sylph, and his desire to bind her to him grows ever stronger. This affects the relationship with his cousin Effie, whom James is supposed to marry. The prophecies of the mystery-clouded palm reader Madge also cause unrest, as she announces that James does not love Effie as much as she loves him. Shortly before the engagement, James escapes the further course of events by running away. In the forest at night, the natural habitat of the sylphs, James forgets space and time for a while. Then Madge appears and promises James that he can bind the sylphs to him forever with a magical veil. But the veil is fatal for the sylph and James is forced to realize that Effie has now chosen his friend Gurn as his groom. He collapses in despair.
