From March 30 to April 30, in Latvia a place will take the series of events of the 20th International Baltic Ballet Festival “From Classics to Avant-Garde”, which this year are dedicated to the theme ”Ballet Without Borders”. The events will be held in Riga, Rezekne, Preili, Valmiera and Ventspils.
On April 1, in Rezekne a place will take a performance of the world famous and unique ballet company “Complexions Contemporary Ballet” from New York (USA). American ballet stars demonstrate an outstanding ballet, that differs from the traditional ballet in it`s every detail. Creating choreographies following the principle “everything or nothing”, the troupe combines different mixes of styles, methods, and cultures. The attention is paid to clear lines, the beauty of the body and virtuosity. The union of a stunning choreography, original music and the elements of classic ballet are breaking all the accepted canons of the dance. The leading motive of the company is dance as the uniting strength. It follows the idea that the goal of the dance is breaking the boundaries. It`s artistic creators allow the art of the dance to form and develop in an interaction with the variability of the world. The event, divided in three parts, will reveal 5 ballet performances or it`s fragments: “Head Space” (2014), “Testimony (Testament)” (2011), “Igual” (2014), “I Am Your Man” (2010) and “Innervisions” (2013).
The company of contemporary dance Complexions Contemporary Ballet was founded in 1994 by two internationally recognized ballet soloists Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson, with the goal of popularizing the professional contemporary dance. Both artistic directors have collaborated with the world stars, like Michael Jackson, Prince, Lenny Kravitz and others.
The prices for the event tickets are 7,00 to 18,00 €, and can be purchased at the ticket offices of the Embassy of Latgale GORS and “Biļešu Paradīze”, as well as www.latgalesgors.lv.
