'Les Noces'- The Ballet Russes


The Bridesmaids
The Mother

A ‘Ballet Russes’ production from 1923, choreographed by Igor Stravinsky and costumes originally by Natalia Goncharova. It involves the tragic story of a young couple’s arranged marriage. Without making any changes to the original choreography, I created a more modern concept around a world where an arranged marriage has become a mechanical, factory process, very clinical and monotonous.
