Sleeping Beauty becomes an original and original choreography, a fable revisited in a modern and Mediterranean flavor

We all know the famous fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, written in the seventeenth century by the French writer Charles Perrault and became famous all over the world thanks to the version of the Disney animated feature film of 1959.

Like all the classics also the history de Sleeping Beauty it lends itself to various reinterpretations and reinterpretations, which spread the universal meanings and symbols of the fable making them eternal. Fredy Franzutti, choreographer of the Southern Ballet, has created a contemporary version on the ballet de Sleeping Beauty composed on music by Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and on Petipa's two steps.

But this Princess Aurora is a fresh Mediterranean girl born in Southern Italy in the 40s, to whom an old sorceress predicts an atrocious fate. In fact, on her sixteenth birthday, she comes dragged into a long sleep by the bite of the Salento tarantula. She will sleep for 50 years, precisely until 2000, when a fascinating anthropologist, scholar of popular traditions and tarantism decides to investigate the legend that concerns her ...

Sleeping Beauty thus he lives a new life, in a transposition in a modern key, a daring reinterpretation of a repertoire classic that manages, however, to express its relevance while respecting tradition. The dramaturgy is marked by a refined and original choreography, in which the notes of Tchaikovsky they are warmed by the Mediterranean element that gives a riot of colors to the scenes and costumes, and in which the dancers express themselves with great accuracy and precision, both together and in solos.
