Thierry Malandain
Cinderella, composed by Sergei Prokófiev, it is simply a monument to the world of ballet, in which Malandain, a visionary author if there ever was one, will delight us by offering us his most personal view.
Malandain will remain faithful to the original drama of Cinderella and will explore some of his most loved topics: the search for an ideal, the revealed truth, the duality that lies in us all…The result is surprising.
