Review: Javier de Frutos/Pet Shop Boys - The Most Incredible Thing
Review: Javier de Frutos/Pet Shop Boys - The Most Incredible Thing
The fairy tale "The Most Incredible Thing" by Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen is the starting point for the same-titled ballet choreographed by Javier de Frutos.The story itself is about a competition to find the most incredible thing. The king offers the winner not only half of his kingdom, but also the hand of his daughter (Clemmie Sveaas). As the kingdom itself is shown like a authoritarian, post-Soviet state, the first scene starts very atmospheric, showing the people as robotic workers restrained and suppressed.
Karl (former Royal Ballet principal Ivan Putrov), the cold-hearted general, fits perfectly into the dark side of the kingdom and, how else could it be, does everything in his power to win the competition, but the young artist Leo (Aaron Sillis) creates the incredible thing, a clock that will not only save the daughter from Karl, but also obtain her love for himself.
"The Most Incredible Thing" lives from the numerous projections and the continuously shifting stage scenery, which is sometimes simply too much for the development of the story, even if some visual effects are quite stunning (especially the "incredible thing" itself).

Festival: Schrittmacher Festival, Aachen, Germany
Schrittmacher Festival, Aachen, Germany
In Lie of the Land the sharp sweetness of Ned Rorem’s String Quartet No.4 has taken Martin Lawrance into new territory. Lyrical yet urgent dancing charts the lie of the land in ever restless and searching mood changes. “Lawrance’s most impressive dance yet. Strong, clear and charged with expressive tension” The Times.
Richard Alston’s iconic Roughcut, made in 1990, is probably his best-loved signature piece. It is danced to Steve Reich’s shimmeringly beautiful New York Counterpoint and Electric Counterpoint, played live by clarinettist Roger Heaton and guitarist James Woodrow. This is a rare chance to see one of the defining classics of British Dance. “Fills the stripped-back reaches of the stage with a mercurial joie de vivre that makes you grin in the dark.” The Herald
