dirac Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 Q&A with Carlos Acosta. Quote How did you choose the parts you are going to dance? Obviously, I cannot do everything I would like to do at this point. I have selected pieces like Balanchine’s Apollo and Act II of Swan Lake that give an idea of who I was, and yet I can still have dignity doing. I was playing with doing the balcony pas de deux of Romeo and Juliet but that would have been way too much. I have to do it in a way that I can still walk off, and you don’t have to call an ambulance. Link to comment
