Scottish Ballet – Coppelia
When: 22nd September 2022 to 24th September 2022
Location: Theatre Royal
Coppelia is a Scottish ballet which explores the search for reality in an artificial world, reinvented for the digital age. Coming to Glasgow’s Theatre Royal from 22nd – 24th September 2022.
What happens when you fall in love with a machine? How can we compete with the perfection of the unreal? What if the technology we create, and obsess over, takes on a life of its own?
We will test the boundaries of dance, theatre and film in this distinctive new adaptation of the classic ballet. Blending location and real-time filming with projection and live performance.
This innovative new production will be choreographed and directed by UK-based duo Jess & Morgs. Building on their previous films for Scottish Ballet (Tremble, The Secret Theatre). Jess & Morgs will explore our relationship with reality through their playful use of the camera, creating a unique experience for a live theatre audience.
The original Delibes score will be referenced and reimagined as part of a new composition by Mikael Karlsson and Michael P. Atkinson, performed live by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra.
Coppélia has been commissioned by the Edinburgh International Festival and will have its world premiere in 2022. This will be followed by a national tour.
