The Return of Ulysses 18.04-28.04

Saturday, 25 May 2013

Acclaimed choreographer Christian Spuck created The Return of Ulysses especially for the Royal Ballet Flanders and it became an instant international success. This welcome revival offers an opportunity to see this tour de force evening long work that brings to the stage Spuck’s unique choreographic signature that is both poignant, humorous and singular.

The story unravels as for twenty years Penelope has to wait for the return of her husband Odysseus. The endless wait – that absurd atmosphere of hope and hopelessness – and the pressure of numerous enthusiastic and insistent suitors.

With music by Purcell and chansons and songs from Charles Trenet to Doris Day create a colorful palette of atmospheric dance and music.

The celebrated Principal Dancer Alain Honorez returns for this production to the Royal Ballet Flanders as a guest artist.
