We invite you to the National Theatre Ballet SCHEHERAZADE.
The story of Scheherazade is known from the oriental tale One Thousand and One Nights, and its archetypal principle has inspired world art. Nikolai A. Rimsky-Korsakov created a symphonic suite of the same name, and Mikhail Fokin staged the first ballet in 1910. Now, choreographer Mauro Bigonzetti has been captivated by Scheherazade's beauty and wit, resulting in a new original production for the National Theatre Ballet. Unlike the Paris premiere, he has placed only two main characters on stage, King Shahryar and Scheherazade. They represent the masculine and feminine principles, balance, and an equal authentic relationship. The fate of the ancient "Shahrazad" was fulfilled in Persia in the 10th century. However, its message is meta-temporal and meta-spatial. These are deeply internalized themes that are passed down from generation to generation and always find a new form adapted to the culture of the time in which they appear.
