The classic narrative ballet of the 21st Century
被誉为“二十一世纪大师舞作”的阿库·汉姆《吉赛尔》,由英国国家芭蕾舞团于2016年首演。演出收获了媒体和评论的一致认可:《独立报》、《每日电讯报》和《舞台报》五星好评;《泰晤士报》和《卫报》也给出四星推荐。作品拿下了当年的奥利弗奖杰出成就奖,阿库·汉姆也凭此获得了英国国家舞蹈奖最佳编舞奖。
原版中的故事背景被移植到当下社会,浪漫纯情的农村女孩吉赛尔被重构成一位难民潮中的移民女工,在发现被权贵欺骗后,展开了一场复仇与救赎。在保持原版叙事的基础上,阿库·汉姆把传统卡塔克舞融入到了古典芭蕾中。幕布升起时,阴影中的舞者推着一堵大墙。阿库·汉姆的《吉赛尔》以震撼的舞台美术和迷人的舞蹈设计拉开序幕。Vincenzo Lamagna的“不祥的、哥特式”配乐(观察者)改编自Adolphe Adam的原作,并由英国国家芭蕾舞爱乐乐团演出。布景和服装由获得奥斯卡奖的设计师叶锦添设计,灯光由马克·亨德森设计,营造出一座被废弃的工厂和在工厂阴影中出现的复仇鬼魂的场景。自2016年首映以来,阿库·汉姆的《吉赛尔》就引起了世界各地观众的共鸣。以上照片 Above Photos © Laurent LiotardoAcclaimed dancer-choreographer Akram Khan 'speaks tremendously of tremendous things' (Financial Times) and this new Giselle reimagines the classic narrative ballet for the 21st Century. As the curtain rises, dancers in shadow push against a large wall. From that moment on, Akram Khan’s Giselle stuns with powerful images and mesmerising choreography. Giselle had become a former garment factory migrant worker, Albrecht, a member of the wealthy factory-owning class. An abandoned “ghost factory” haunted by the memory of female migrant workers, many of them victims of industrial accidents, replaces the traditional glade of Act II. There, Giselle’s desire to break the cycle of violence will lead her to reconciliation with Albrecht and his release from the retributive justice of the Wilis.The “ominous, gothic” score (The Observer) by Vincenzo Lamagna is adapted from Adolphe Adam’s original, and performed by English National Ballet Philharmonic.Sets and costumes by Academy Award-winning designer Tim Yip and atmospheric lighting design by Mark Henderson conjure up a condemned factory and the vengeful ghosts that appear inits shadows.Since its premiere in 2016, Akram Khan’s Giselle has resonated with audiences around the world, from Manchester to Moscow.
