La Strada
Company:
Alina Cojocaru
Alina Cojocaru takes to the stage in the world première of a two-act ballet inspired by Federico Fellini’s film La Strada, choreographed by Natália Horečná.
La Strada tells the story of Gelsomina, sold by her mother to strongman Zampanò and forced to follow him into a life of hardship and suffering living on the road with a travelling circus. What follows is a deeply moving and touching story that explores the essence of humanity and what it means to love and be loved in return.
Set to Nino Rota’s haunting scores, including the ballet suite from La Strada, and the soundtracks from Fellini’s La Dolce Vita and Il Casanova, Natália Horečná fuses classical ballet with contemporary dance, with set and costume designs by Otto Bubeníček.
