La La La Human Steps - Wereldpremière Édouard Lock

Ter gelegenheid van het dertigjarige jubileum van de groep gaat artistiek leider en choreograaf Édouard Lock in deze productie een unieke samenwerking aan met Diana Vishneva, sterdanseres van het Kirov Ballet van het Marijinski Theater in Sint Petersburg. Lock (1954) smeedt in zijn nieuwe creatie tragische liefdesverhalen uit twee barokopera's samen: Von Gluck's Orpheo ed Eurydice en Dido and Aeneas van Henry Purcell. Voor de begeleidende muziek kreeg Gavin Bryars een compositieopdracht. Met deze wereldpremière in Het Muziektheater Amsterdam trapt het Canadese gezelschap af voor een wereldtournee. Édouard Lock en zijn La La La Human Steps zijn al vanaf medio jaren tachtig een van de terugkerende gasten in Het Muziektheater Amsterdam. In 1988 maakte hij Bread Dances voor Het Nationale Ballet. In 2009 was in Het Muziektheater Amsterdam zijn choreografie Amjad te zien.

I'll be there too, but that'll be despite this boring video that only recycles what's already on YT. Do you people at the MT honestly think this lackluster copy-paste job slapped onto YT as a mere afterthought passes for a promotional campaign? You have world premiere on your hands and THIS is all you could come up with to promote it?

@mariatechnosux Hi Maria, thank you for your comment. Of course we would like to promote a world premiere with new footage. Unfortunately there is no footage available yet. There will be soon after the first presentations in Amsterdam for other locations to promote. We are happy you did see this trailer, so you are informed about the fact that this new work will have its world premiere at the Amsterdam Music Theatre. Hope to greet you in our theatre and thanks again.

@TheAMSMusicTheatre Thank you for your reply, and again, I am confident the show itself will be much better than this boring trailer! I've seen this company 4 times already in Het Muziektheater, and I just think they deserve a better promo than this.
