| Background |
Up to now, through its J-Ballet series, the NNTT has
created ambitious ballet works by young choreographers. In the Emerald
Project, which begins this season, the NNTT will propose the creation
of new ballet works with a narrative-like structure to choreographers
in Japan and abroad, thus striving to expand the repertoire of the
NNTT's original works. It wishes to create new, youthful and energetic
ballets with novel and exciting choreography, which will be valued
by the audience as gems in its repertoire, as is reflected in the
project name.
The first in the series is Carmen by Ishii Jun. Ishii has published
a number of works in the past, and for the NNTT, he choreographed
Bonsho no Koe (The Voice of the Bell), the work commissioned for the
grand opening of the theatre, and Juniya (The Twelfth Night), performed
as part of the J-Ballet series.
Based on the very famous opera composed by Georges Bizet, Carmen is
a story of passion in which persons of flesh and blood clash with
one another. Since the opening of the NNTT, Ishii has guided the New
National Theatre Ballet as its ballet master and as such he has a
full knowledge of the characteristics of individual dancers in the
company. High expectations are placed on the dramatic development
of the story by his elaborate choreography and direction.
