The Royal Danish Ballet: Napoli Choreography: August Bournonville
Nikolaj Hübbe and Sorella Englund have created a new interpretation of Bournonville’s Italian drama, Napoli, which in Maja Ravn’s set design takes us back to the dilapidated Naples of the 1950s.
The local hoodlums lust after the beautiful Teresina, but she is hopelessly in love with the poor fisherman Gennaro. Together they run away to sea, but a thunder storm capsizes their boat and only Gennaro manages to make it back to land. Teresina sinks to the bottom of the sea, and in a fairytale universe a seductive and dangerous sea demon elicits unfamiliar emotions in the young girl’s heart.
