This video is a really well made montage of clips from Mauro Bigonzetti’s new ballet, “Caravaggio” danced by the Staatsballett of Berlin. The music is composed by Bruno Moretti based on the style of Claudio Monteverdi. The principal dancers are Polina Semianova and V. Malakhov.
This ballet is about the life of the famous Italian artist, Caravaggio. It is a contemporary ballet in two acts.
The dancing is exceptional and the choreography is so beautiful, showing a generous mixture of the sensualality, power and sculptural elements of the dancers. Some of the shots of the dancers are breathtaking. To me these are key characteristics of Bigonzettis’ work that I find so appealing. He is able to choreograph such romantic and passionate dances that really speak of the modern experience.
Polina Semianova is a really expressive dancer and I would really like to see dancing this live sometime.
