Edinburgh International Festival '07
Scottish Ballet returns to the Festival in 2007.
For the first year under new festival director Jonathan Mills, the Company will perform Ride The Beast by Stephen Petronio (a world premiere), Trisha Brown's For M.G. - The Movie and Ashley Page's Olivier Award-winning Fearful Symmetries.
Ride The Beast (2007)
Choreography: Stephen Petronio
Music: Radiohead
After wowing audiences with passionate performances of MiddleSexGorge, Scottish Ballet is delighted to be working with critically acclaimed American choreographer Stephen Petronio for a second time. Famously controversial, Petronio's work is challenging, provocative and truly unforgetable, and the world premiere of Ride The Beast will be no exception. Expect the unexpected.
For M.G. - The Movie (1991)
Choreography: Trisha Brown
Music: Alvin Curran
This programme will also see Scottish Ballet take on the work of New York-based choreographer Trisha Brown for the first time. An abstract piece built on the idea of performance itself and what it means to perform, For M.G. - The Movie is an absorbing piece, drawing the audience into the movements with a hypnotic, almost magnetic force.
Fearful Symmetries (1994)
Choreography: Ashley Page
Music: John Adams
Originally choreographed on The Royal Ballet, the Edinburgh International Festival marks the Scottish premiere of Artistic Director Ashley Page’s hugely successful Olivier award-winning Fearful Symmetries.
Set to the backdrop of Antony McDonald’s geometrically Rothko-esque design, Fearful Symmetries is an exhilarating celebration of pure dance, and a compelling interpretation of John Adams’ wonderfully surging minimalist score.
