Love Hurts...Petrushka - Trailer

Based on the characters from the ballet Petrushka (Petrushka, the Moor, the Columbine, and the Charlatan) which was commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev with a libretto by Alexandre Benois and music by Stravinsky, Love Hurts...Petrushka explores the dreams that love inspires, the pain of loss, and the elusiveness of peace. With the addition of original music by hip-hop pioneer DJ Opossum and set/costumes by Claus Stump, this evening-length production received an enthusiastic welcome in Europe, including a rave review from the Leverkusener Anzeiger/Kölner Stadtanzeiger: "This wild mix of dance styles, completely different in time, expression, technique, and underlying music almost makes it seem as if the evolution of dance is happening right before your eyes. Everything is interdependent. Everything is connected. This is almost anarchy. A more innovative and complete performance is hard to imagine."
