After Eden

About

This staging of After Eden was presented as part of a diverse quadruple bill at Warsaw's Teatr Wielki, showcasing contemporary and modern ballet works. The production featured the choreography of John Butler set to the music of American composer Lee Hoiby. Butler's choreographic vision for After Eden typically explores the psychological and emotional aftermath of the expulsion from paradise, focusing on the intense, complex dynamics between the two primary figures. The inclusion of this work alongside pieces by Hans van Manen, László Seregi, and Maurice Béjart highlights Teatr Wielki's commitment to presenting a broad spectrum of late 20th-century choreographic voices during its 1987 season.
