World Premier Program: The World of Nacho DuatoNacho Duato is a choreographer active on a global scale as one of the prodigies of the world of contemporary ballet. The New National Theatre has previously presented two of his masterworks, Duende and Jardí Tancat. This season, we bring you a program presenting these two works together with a third, Por Vos Muero. This is the first program consisting entirely of works by Nacho Duato to be offered anywhere in the world other than by Duato's own company, Spain's Compañia Nacional de Danza. Dance Resonating from the Body's Core-Uncanny Feelings and ReverberationsDuende is an evocation of the uncanny, magical spirits of the night known in Duato's native Spain as duende. Jardi Tancat is his debut piece, an expression of feelings for the Mediterranean, which he came to love in his homeland of Valencia. And Por Vos Muero takes its inspiration from the music of 15th and 16th century Spain and the verses of the poet Garcilaso de la Vega, reintegrating the dances and customs of the period into a unique view of the world. It is an homage to an era in which dance held tremendous significance to people of all kinds; one might also say it is an homage to dance itself. We invite you to revel in the world of Nacho Duato, a world of human warmth, of awe and respect for nature, a world overflowing with affection that will resonate with every human heart. |
Profile Born in Valencia, Spain, at
the age of eighteen Nacho Duato began professional ballet training at the Rambert
School in London, and continued his studies at Maurice Béjart's Mudra School
in Brussels and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center in New York City. In 1981
he was invited by Jirí Kylián to join the company of Nederlands
Dans Theater. While active as a dancer, he began to turn his hand to choreography:
Jardí Tancat, his first piece, won first prize at the International
Choreographic Workshop in Cologne in 1983. Later more than ten of his works were
adopted into the company repertory. In 1990 he was appointed artistic director
of what is now Spain's Compañia Nacional de Danza. After producing a number
of shorter works, including Concierto Madrigal, Coming Together,
and Por Vos Muero, in 1997 he choreographed his first full-length ballet,
Romeo y Julieta. Works by Duato have been commissioned by and included
in the repertory of a number of the world's most prominent ballet companies. In
2000 he won the Benois de la Danse, an award for excellence in choreography presented
by the International Dance Association.
