And now they return to Cuba. A decade after presenting <em>Cinderella<\/em> at the Avellaneda Hall of the National Theater, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo will once again grace that stage with one of their most acclaimed works: <em>Core Meu<\/em>, choreographed by their director, Jean-Christophe Maillot.<\/p>\n<p>There will be three performances: Friday, May 16; Saturday, May 17; and Sunday, May 18. Tickets are already available at the theater\u2019s box office.<\/p>\n<p>Dance enthusiasts in Cuba are well aware of the company\u2019s prestige. But for those unfamiliar, it is worth emphasizing that this is a world-class production.<\/p>\n<p><em>Core Meu<\/em>, the piece to be performed, artistically explores the impulses and emotions associated with trance and sacrifice. It presents folk dance as a ritual, evoking traditional expressions.<\/p>\n<p>According to the company\u2019s promotional materials, this ballet merges classical pointe technique with the distinct elements of one of Europe\u2019s most popular dances: the tarantella.<\/p>\n<p>The work proposes a journey to the Apulia region in the Mediterranean, an area rich in cultural convergence and deeply rooted local identity.<\/p>\n<p>The score is performed live by musician Antonio Castrignan\u00f2 and his ensemble, creating a complete experience: multiple dancers spinning to the rhythm of traditional drums.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it is a tribute to the primal spirit of dance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CORE MEU<\/strong><br \/>\nChoreography: Jean-Christophe Maillot<br \/>\nAssistant Choreography: Bernice Coppieters<br \/>\nMusic: Antonio Castrignan\u00f2<br \/>\nCostume Design: Salvador Mateu Andujar<br \/>\nLighting: Samuel Thery<\/p>\n<p>Featuring Antonio Castrignan\u00f2 and Taranta Sounds<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Sergio A.
