Behind the Scenes: Serenade after Plato's Symposium by Dutch National Ballet
‘Surely it’s the ballet premiere of the year; maybe it’s the greatest ballet yet of the 21st century’, raved The New York Times following the world premiere of Alexei Ratmansky’s Serenade after Plato’s Symposium. Like Bernstein, Ratmansky borrowed her inspiration from the Plato text, in which a group of prominent Athenians debate the nature and purpose of love. The result is a sublimely musical choreography in which seven male dancers express diverse ways of ‘being’, with a female soloist symbolizing Eros, or love.
