Bayerisches Staatsballett: Sphären.02 | Preljocaj
Sphären.02 certainly embraced a spectrum of styles. Whether it said much about future directions for ballet or dance is highly questionable, however.

Invariably a wonderful evening’s dance… this year’s gala was also a farewell, and a thank you, to outgoing artistic director Bridget Breiner
Prelocaj deals with love and attraction, sexual desire and seduction. It’s very much a ballet of suggestion, of desire that’s only realised in Act III
There are changes but… there are swans. There is a lake. There is an Odette in white, and a Siegfried who falls for an Odile in black.
Bruno Bouché, Angelin Preljocaj and Alba Castillo
