Last week Turkish artist designer ALIZADE visited 'Giselle' balet in Moscow.
27/10/2022
This was first perfomance of this season in The Moscow State Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theatre.
LAURENT HILAIRE, Choreographier: In the first act, I paid particular attention to the pantomime. It is necessary so that the audience understands what is at stake. I wanted pantomime to stop being a formality and become an important means of expression. In the second act, my main concern was the purity of the style: the position of the hands, the accuracy of the movements. I made sure that all the performers were fully involved in the performance. Only under this condition can we truly captivate the audience in the hall. (from official web site https://stanmus.ru/en/shows/giselle/)
ALIZADE: I like ballet. Maybe one time I will create decorations and costumes for theatre too. When I'm in Moscow I always visit theatre. I was impressed by costumes and theatre interior design in this time. Of course professionalism of solists and great orchestra is out of any comments because it was absolutely incredible and beautiful. Viewers had opportunity to feel such good energy in that two hours.
