Overview

The Compañía Nacional de Danza presents at the Teatro de la Zarzuela a production that makes the body the axis of a reflection on the passage of time, from the technique of ballet to contemporary languages.

The show brings together two pieces of contrasting character that engage in dialogue with each other. The first, Paquita, choreographed by George Balanchine to music by Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky, draws on this composer's serenade for string orchestra and on a register of academic elegance. The second, The Second Detail, bears the signature of William Forsythe with music by Thom Willems, and aims at a more intense physical demand and a language of contemporary creation.

The proposed journey does not follow a chronological line: past, present and future coexist on the same stage, and the tradition of ballet is reinterpreted in every movement. The Orquesta de la Comunidad de Madrid ORCAM, resident orchestra of the Teatro de la Zarzuela, accompanies the performance.

The production is aimed at audiences interested in classical and contemporary dance, and is presented in a venue that is a benchmark of Madrid's stage programming.
