Ballet Dancer

Ballet by John Neumeier based on Anton Chekhov | Introduction at 5.15 pm

On a secluded country estate, people from multiple generations come together, each bringing different views on life and art. Many of them are artists or aspire to be artists, yet none of them are happy. The free-spirited life, detached from conventions, exists only as a symbol, embodied by a seagull that is shot without reason by one of the main characters. In his adaptation of Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull", John Neumeier shifts the action from the world of literature to the world of dance. Instead of literary discussions, the characters express themselves through various dance styles.
