Ph. Brescia - Amisano © Teatro alla Scala

Until June 26 Paquita is on stage, the choreographic creation of Pierre Lacotte that brings the ballet pantomime to the stage. In the first act, in fact, the dance gives way to a long sequence almost entirely mimicked, in which gestures replace words.

The listening of enemies, the exchange of glasses, the escape through the chimney: each action, choreographed with precision, returns the charm of a danced narrative that made such history.

Martina Arduino and Timofej Andrijashenko play alternately with the other two leading couples the roles of Paquita and Lucien d’Hervilly, on the music of Ludwig Minkus and Edmé Deldevez.

Until 26 June, Paquita is on stage at La Scala in the choreographic creation by Pierre Lacotte that brings the pantomime ballet back to the stage. In the first act, dance gives way to a long, almost entirely mimed sequence in which gestures replace words.

Overhearing the enemies, switching the goblets, escaping through the fireplace – each action, precisely choreographed, revives the charm of a danced narrative that has shaped the history of the genre.

Martina Arduino and Timofej Andrijashenko alternate with the other two leading couples in the roles of Paquita and Lucien d’Hervilly, to music by Ludwig Minkus and Edmé Deldevez.
