Wood fairies charm in Machico

March 24^th, this coming Friday, Fórum Machico receives the show “Les Sylphides”, starting at 21h30.

The ballet has as scenery a wood, where a young dreamer is surrounded by dancing fairies. The choreography, created by Foikine, was first used in a show produced by Sergey Diaghilev for the Ballet Russes, in Paris, in 1909, and doesn’t really try to convey a story, the idea being more to recreate an ambiance.

The Madeiran version is a production of ADAM (Associação de Dança e Arte da Madeira), with elements from ADAM (Funchal, Porto da Cruz and Santana) as well as the Conservatório – Escola professional das Artes da Madeira, following a protocol signed by the two entities, thus allowing students from the courses of the Conservatório to take part in the show.

The choreographies, by Sergey Abakumov, Isabel Santos, Leandro Rodrigues, Yury Rykunov and Dalila Rodrigues should be seen as a space of different influences, not only in the sense that there are two institutions taking part, but also because it is a mix of both classic and contemporary dancing.

Tickets can be acquired at the Forum Machico ticket booth in the hour before the show, costing 10 euro, with 50 percent discounts for seniors and students.

The show was produced with the support of DRAC, Secretaria Regional de Cultura, Turismo e Transportes, the Funchal city council, the Conservatório – Escola Profissional das Artes and artists Diamantino Jesus and Zé Diogo DiDiarte. It is worth going to the Forum Machico, as this is sure to be a different experience.
