Transcript
00:01Oscar Wilde's book The Picture of Dorian Gray addresses an incredibly timely theme – the pursuit of youth, beauty and
00:08pleasure.
00:09That's why choreographer Piotr Jeznach decided to create his own interpretation of this literary classic.
00:16Unusually, the only form of expression is a movement.
00:37The cohesion between the cast was clearly evident when the play was presented to the press.
00:58The role of Dorian Gray is played by Szymon Faholec, who admits the role has been his biggest challenge so
01:03far.
01:16The dancer was also full of praise for his collaboration with the choreographer.
01:20He is a very good mentor. Emocional, ruchowo zaufał nam bardzo, jeśli chodzi o ruch.
01:26Dawał nam, ja to nazywam sam jak uczę, jak tworzę choreografię, daję wam szablon, zróbcie z nim jakąś plastyczną zmianę
01:34pod siebie.
01:35Kreujcie, jak będzie źle, nie będzie mi to odpowiadało. Poprowadzę inaczej, pokażę wam tę drogę.
01:40Ale dawał nam też pole do odkrywania tych emocji, żebyśmy mogli sami troszkę, trochę jak gra w Stimsy, że możemy
01:47sobie sami po prostu dobrać emocje.
01:48The picture of Dorian Gray is on at Theatr Roma in Warsaw.
