ABOUT THE BALLET
In Shostakovich Trilogy, Alexei Ratmansky explores his complex relationship with his homeland. Ratmansky, who calls this his most personal work, gives an atmospheric sketch of the life and career of his favourite Russian composer, who suffered greatly under the oppression of the Soviet regime. Ratmansky was inspired by works by Dmitri Shostakovich from various periods. He overwhelms the audience with a deluge of solos, small ensembles and group sections, while giving unity to the trilogy through the repetition of certain phrases and the structure of the three sections, which are each danced by four or five soloists in front of a mixed corps de ballet.

Co-produced with San Francisco Ballet and American Ballet Theatre
