Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm

Dancers worldwide train hard to meet the standards of prince and princess roles in classical ballet. This striving towards levity and perfection is of particular importance in the Philippines: dancers even leave top companies such as the Ballet Philippines to work at Disneyland Hong Kong because of the financial incentives. Against this backdrop, choreographer Eisa Jocson has developed a piece, which walks the fine line connecting the princess archetypes of ballet with the globalized entertainment industry. She masterfully interweaves standards from Giselle, Snow White  and Swan Lake with Disney’s repertoire of expressive gestures and so tells the tale of intertwining individual and collective fantasies of happiness.
