Approved

Two works by Ravel will be performed: the lyrical operatic fantasy "The Child and the Enchanted" and the dance piece "Mother Goose". The performance has one intermission. The performances take place in Estonian or French, with Estonian and English subtitles.

Life is surreal, both on stage and in reality. Who hasn’t quarrelled with an armchair? Or with a stubborn grandfather clock? We have all loved princesses and torn them apart just to see what is inside. Did the porcelain cup just break out of its own will? How very frustrating!
Besides, what is inside the wallpaper that so invitingly peels off the wall?
Speaking squirrels, sleeping beauties, frogs as chorus singers, scary numbers, tiptoeing curtains, teacups as tourists and screaming flames – what an amazing blend of dreamy revelations and pieces of real life, opera and ballet as well as stage lights and behind the stage sounds.
What about the Mother Goose? Will she manage to squeeze herself on stage or into your dream?

“Mother Goose” is a free interpretation of Maurice Ravel’s ballet by a free-lance stage director and choreographer Renate Keerd. According to a French custom, a mother goose is a nickname for a nurse, who tells children fairy-tales. Keerd takes the classical libretto and turns it upside down. Her original story is based on Ravel’s orchestrated version of the piece. In her staging, Keerd concentrates on paradoxes of our lives, mixing it with her fantastic, absurd and witty style.

“Ravel:Ravel” is a game where you can cheat for beauty and where Ravel’s love affair with music ends up in a crazy whirlwind of spectacle, dreamt of by children and yearned for by grown-ups.

English

Sürrealism möllab. Nii laval kui meie elus. Kes meist poleks tülli läinud tugitooliga? Või jonnaka seinakellaga? Oleme kõik armastanud printsesse ja neid katki rebinud – et näha, mis sees on. Kas portselantass läks praegu meelega ise katki? Teeb ikka tigedaks küll! Mis aga peitub ahvatlevalt nurgast lahti rullunud tapeedi sees …?
Rääkivad oravad, uinuvad kaunitarid, koorilauljatest konnad, hirmuäratavad arvud, varvastel kardinad, turistist teetassid ja kriiskavad tuleleegid – omavahel põimuvad nii unenäolised ilmutused kui killukesed päris elust, nii ooper kui ballett, nii rambivalgus kui kulissidetagused sahinad.
Aga Hane-ema? Kas temal õnnestub end pressida lavale või hoopis teie unenäkku?

„Hane-ema“ on vabakutselise lavastaja ja koreograafi Renate Keerdi vaba tõlgendus Maurice Raveli loodud balletile. Vana prantsuse kombe järgi nimetatakse hane-emaks lastele muinaslugusid pajatavat hoidjat. Keerd pöörab balleti klassikalise libreto aga pea peale, võttes lavastuse loomisel aluseks Raveli muusikalise orkestreeringu, kuid loob sellele algupärase dramaturgia. Oma lavastuses keskendub Keerd meie elu saatvatele paradoksidele talle omaselt absurdimaigulises, fantaasiaküllases ja teravmeelses võtmes.

„Ravel:Ravel“ on mäng, kus ilu nimel võib sohki teha ning kus Raveli armuafäär muusikaga suubub pöörasesse vaatemängu, millest väike unistab ja mida suur taga nutab.
