In a castle whose floor is littered with dead leaves, a man compulsively plays a tape recorder. Surrounded by figures that haunt him, he listens, rewinds and listens again to the music of Bluebeard. Created in 1977, Pina Bausch's piece, which enters the Ballet's repertoire this season, transforms Bartók's opera into a wild and intense ritual: that of a man confronting his thirst for power, his desires and his fantasies. Perrault's original fairy tale is the inspiration for this major Tanztheater piece. Men and women dive headlong into a choreography that exposes the violence and absurdity of human relationships. The compulsive nature of desire becomes a principle of writing: locked in a series of gestures repeated to the point of exhaustion or explosion, Pina Bausch's tragic characters draw us into a breathless world where seduction and domination converge.
