Treize en Jeu
About
Treize en Jeu is a dance for thirteen (8 women en pointe and 5 men), set to three movements of Franz Schubert’s Trio in E Flat Major. It features duets, trios, and solos set against a backdrop of counterpoint group entrances and exits to create a textured stage picture to reflect the complexity of the musical score. The off kilter use of ballet vocabulary is highlighted by classical character dance influences.
Press
“Treize en Jeu is a ballet that will reward further viewings; its richness and its pleasing marriage of music and movement cannot be fully comprehended in a single take. Cherylyn Lavagnino's instinctive response to the Schubert score was given full reward in the lyrical commitment of her dancers.”
