Tango with Lady M.

 

Pure expression 

The wave of sound rolls from loud speakers, ordered rhythmically in even metre, exposing continuously, more or less clearly, tango features. More in compositions of Astor Piazzolla, less in music of Leszek Możdżer, in which exist together a medieval voice, baroque polyphony, harmony and modern sonorism. There are also, apart of that, many different techniques existing together so perfectly that nobody can notice difference between those two musicians. They created so perfect collage that the authority of each part is available to recognise only by a little more perfection of sound in Piazzollas` tangos (recorded by masters as Gidon Kremer and Yo Yo Ma).

On the stage, plunge in red darkness, roll allegoric pictures of human passions. Love, envy, and hate... till very extreme solutions.
According to author of performance (idea and choreography) Ewa Wycichowska the source of these allegories is woman - titled Lady M transforming into many characters and having many names: Muerte - death, Medea, Makbeth and modern M.S.
This program definitions concrete in a sense stage pictures, but it turn out to be not necessary, because they made spectator to find and follow suggested plot. Meanwhile, everything what is happening on the stage should affect with not hidden, clear expression- this is so great presentation of feelings and passion, expressed in body language without any need of feature direction.
Choreography graduate feelings perfectly leading to final eruption. We can read the main message philosophy about the Lady Muerte power easily.
This performance with its idea is similar to baroque "death dance" - only freeze in it procession is in particular parts alive.
We can not have any objections to the realisation of choreography  - there are a lot of parts evoke with the dexterity and expressiveness our authentic enchantment.
It is so hard to mention all soloists who are really worth to mention. In our minds stay all Ladies, what is clear, because their part are the most important, according to idea.  The main discovery for the theatre turns out very young dancer - Agata Zając, acting with unexacting mature and effect of silhouette, gesture and dance of the title character of this performance - Lady Muerte. Perfect were also Paulina Cysewska - Lady Medea, Iwona Pasińska - Lady Makbeth and Karina Adamczak - Lady M.S., who had the most acrobatics move and maybe little too long part in Tango.
The atmosphere and drama is lined by beautiful and fascinating costumes and stage design (according to projects of Maria Balcerek). The light motive of the stage design is animated skeleton of dinosaur projected on the horizon of the stage. It tries to fight, but with any result, with progressing final desolation - the symbol of timeless including in presentation of philosophy issues.
