The premiere of the neoclassical ballet “Children of the Night” took place in 2018 by choreographer-director Oleksandr Abdukarimov.
The ballet is based on the ancient Greek legend about Androgynes, mythical creatures who once had two pairs of arms and legs, two faces on one head, but for disobedience, Zeus punished them and divided them into two parts – male and female. Since then, each of the particles is forced to look for its mate.
The phrase “Find your soulmate” appeared thanks to this legend. No one touched this topic in ballet before. The legend is told with accompanied by musical motifs of famous and prominent composers.
In the first act, the artists dance to the music of Antonio Vivaldi and Max Richter’s “Four Seasons“, in the second – Philip Glass, Cliff Martinez, Arvo Pärt.
Choreography and staging: Oleksandr Abdukarimov
Music by: Antonio Vivaldi, Max Richter, Philip Glass, Cliff Martinez, Arvo Pärt
The performance will be performed using a soundtrack.
