Creation for The Royal Danish Ballet
First performance: April 24, 2010
Music: Collage
Light Design: Patrik Bogårdh
Costume Design: Rachel Quarmby
FROM THE PRESS:
"It is one of Shakespeare’s most famous stage directions, "Exit, pursued by a bear" which gave its name to Swedish Pontus Lidberg's new ballet choreographed for the Royal Ballet character dancers. The stage directions found in the play “The Winter’s Tale”, has together with “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” been the inspiration for Lidberg’s ballet, in which he quite elegantly intertwines characters and moods from the two Shakespeare plays for fun and very beautiful tableaux with references to Elizabethan times in both stages, music and costumes."
VIBEKE WERN, BERLINSKE TIDENE, COPENHAGEN
"Pontus Lidberg and Patrik Bogårdh together succeed in creating their completely own universe, full of feeling, warmth and poetry."
