Prélude à la mer
The Prélude à l?après-midi d?un faune, to Claude Debussy?s music, inspired by Stéphane Mallarmé?s text, is a musical poem about the ephemeral, absence, and extinction.
Thierry de Mey captures Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker?s choreography in the harsh scene of a catastrophe: the diminishing Aral Sea. An androgynous faun gets caught up in the impossible quest to hold on to what is bound to vanish.
