Dance of the Knights from Christian Spuck’s production of Sergei Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet. Christian Spuck’s production has been celebrated not only in Zurich, but also at guest performances given by the Ballett Zürich in Tel Aviv, Bogotá and Stuttgart. Inspired by Prokofiev’s vivid music and the timeless quality of Shakespeare’s tragedy, the choreographer narrates the most famous love story in world literature using strong images that are full of enthralling theatricality and touching emotion. With a theatre-within-a-theatre situation rooted in the acting tradition and a broad, captivating narrative arc, he creates an immediacy of feeling to which no-one can be immune.
