FOR HER FIRST SOLO, RUTH CHILDS GIVES FREE REIN TO THE FANTASY IN HER DANCE.
Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Dvořák: Ruth Childs realized just how much certain compositions, and specifically for symphony orchestra, triggered a physical response, endowing her body with positions and movements as if through spontaneous generation. Listening to such echoes relegated to the depths of a “mysterious memory,” she has pursued a quest for her own identity, and has composed a score with sensations rediscovered, movements suppressed and spontaneous pleasure. The young choreographer from Geneva is now emancipated from the legacy of her famous Aunt Lucinda, and has designed an “abstract self-portrait” both graceful and mischievous.
