Igor Stravinsky. Les Noces

Les Noces performance produced by Tatiana Baganova’s production has become a legend. Created in 1999, it got The Goden Mask Award in 2000 and was called ‘the first iconic performance in new Russian dance’. It is based on Igor Stravinsky’s homonymous work that the composer himself characterized as ‘Russian choreographic scenes with singing and music’. The literary base of the plot in the choreographer’s version is an old rite that essentially consists of the ritual in which a bridegroom himself cuts a plait, a symbol of female beauty, with a snee. A spectator watches the process of acquaintance, match-making, preparation to the sacred ritual and the plait cut. In 2019, the performance was revived in the repertoire of the Provincial Dances Theatre in a new version: renewed choreography, set design and costumes.
