FAUN
Les Ballets Russes – reloaded
Faun is about the human soul, human desires, human and social roles and standards. The story is interwoven with passion and love, the fundamental human emotions. The idea for creating the choreography occurred in the summer of 2009 when Jiří was shocked by a crime that was reported on the TV news. He was also inspired by Claude Debussy’s Impressionistic music and a trip to Munich, where he visited a glyptotheca and saw Barberini’s life-size marble sculpture of a faun. The choreography was premiered in June 2012 at the performance Les Ballets Russes – Reloaded, hosted by the Semperoper Ballett in Dresden. This is the first opportunity a Czech audience has had to see Faun.
