A story on Cinderella
World premiere on 19 January 2013, Musiktheater im Revier Gelsenkirchen, Ballett im Revier
The centre of Bridget Breiner's examination of the fairytale is not Clara, the Cinderella, but Livia, one of her stepsisters. What happens when one of the most famous fairytales is told from the perspective of one of the antagonists? Isn't "evil" a question of perspective? Suffering from her mother's power games, Livia discovers her counterpart in Clara. Admiration and fascination turn into jealousy. The story follows its familiar course: the prince chosen by her mother for Livia finds true love in Clara. But Livia goes her own way, frees herself from the constraints of her environment and takes her life into her own hands.
Originally created for the Ballett im Revier Gelsenkirchen, this narrative ballet is set between Kohlenpott and American mining tradition and won the theatre prize DER FAUST in the "Best Choreography" category in 2013. Under the direction of the new chief choreographer Bridget Breiner, "Ruß" is now coming to Düsseldorf and Duisburg.
