Relative Calm
Lucinda Childs/Robert Wilson
Two legends meet again: stage director Robert Wilson and choreographer Lucinda Childs reinvent Relative Calm. In 1976, the opera Einstein on the Beach kickstarted one of the most fruitful collaborations of the 20th century. Lucinda Childs starred as a narrator and dancer while Robert Wilson pulled the strings of a hypnotic staging. Five years later, the two icons of the new American scene created Relative Calm together, a ballet set to the music of Jon Gibson.
Today it is a reactivation of the memory of this work that the two flamboyant artists, now in their 80s, offer to our audience. Repetition and variation are still its driving force, but not only the lights, the sets and the structure are all new. Hence, in this three-act ballet, the music of Jon Gibson is a prologue and the music by Jon Adams is the contrasting epilogue, while the Igor Stravinsky’s Pulcinella is the core of the new work.
