The National Ballet of Canada injects raw physicality and dramatic intensity into John Neumeier’s adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s tragic play, The Seagull. The Russian writer’s masterful work lends itself to the language of dance as Neumeier’s choreography centres on illuminating pure emotion, while unveiling richly developed characters. The strikingly beautiful narrative ballet depicts complex interlinking love relationships peppered with reflections on the past, lost chances and squandered possibilities. Employing a richly evocative score by such disparate composers as Shostakovich, Evelyn Glennie, Tchaikovsky and Scriabin, this is contemporary ballet at its best.
