CINDERELLA/ CINDERELLA

Ballet in one act. Music from the recording.

Although there are supposedly 700 versions of the fairy tale about Cinderella, this story probably does not need to be explained to anyone. There is always a misused orphan in it, there is a good fairy, there is a beautiful and in love prince, and above all - there is a lost slipper that will fit only one foot and over time will help to identify the mysterious beauty.

The dance story about the reward for modesty and punishment for pride has received many choreographic interpretations, among them Giorgio Madii, starting work on his version of the fairy tale, transferred it to the 50s, since that time remained in his memory as “a period of revival of dreams, hope and optimism.” An equally strong inspiration for the choreographer was Walt Disney's CINDERELLA — today a pop culture icon.

And so another version of the touching story of a girl, harassed by a malicious stepmother and her unkind daughters, was created. But on our stage, not everything is as unambiguous as in the stories of Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm. Showered with Golden Masks, the show gushes with humor and surprising staging ideas. Its authors skillfully balance between parody and tribute to ballet art. During this show, no one will be bored even for a moment.
