La Belle et la Bête - Le Bal - Ballet T
Dans le cadre de la ligne de programmation « Conversations » de Donostia / San Sebastián 2016, Capitale Européenne de la Culture, s’est déroulé le Bal de la Belle et la Bête qui s’est déroulé au Teatro Victoria Eugenia de Donostia / San Sebastián.
Without revisiting all of the tale’s interpretations, a coming-of-age story can be detected designed to resolve the duality of being, with Belle embodying the human soul and the Beast being its life force and instincts.
With Jean Cocteau, whose film appeared in cinemas in 1946, the focus is on the portrayal of the artist’s inner demons through the Beast’s duality.
Whether it be lost unity or human nature torn apart, accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s symphonic works, our version of the Beast, freed from his inner demons, marries Belle under a blazing sun.
