Justin Peck's THE DECALOGUE with Music by Sufjan Stevens


Recommended Posts

We now get a brief look at Justin Peck's THE DECALOGUE with Music by Sufjan Stevens at NYC Ballet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7jXp0qFz0Y

The video has a great 1940s Modernist feel to it - reminds me of two Maya Deren shorts:

A Study In Choreography For Camera (1945)

Ritual in Transfigured Time

I just hope that the full ballet is able to retain some of this feel. But who knows what it will really be like?

I see what you mean about the relationship to Deren -- part of it is the way they move in and out of the frame.  She is still a highlight for me.

 

I agree, though, that we really can't tell much about the ballet from this.  Stylish, yes -- informative, not so much.
