‘The Nutcracker’ de Joffrey Ballet o la reinvención constante de un clásico

La Joffrey Ballet revive una tradición navideña con una innovadora versión de 'El cuento del picador'

En un año en que la música y las luces se han vuelto más importantes que nunca, el clásico "The Nutcracker" del ballet estadounidense es una opción perfecta para celebrar el inicio de los festivales navideños. Esta temporada, la Joffrey Ballet de Chicago ofrece una versión innovadora de este clásico navideño, coreografiada por Christopher Wheeldon y presentada con guion del escritor e ilustrador Brian Selznick.

La idea detrás de esta versión es ofrecer un viaje en el tiempo, donde se sitúa la historia en vísperas de Navidad de 1892 en Chicago. El espectáculo sigue a Clara, una joven que recibe un regalo sorprendente del abuelo, un cuadro mágico que la lleva a un mundo fantástico.

Esta versión de "El cuento del picador" no es solo un homenaje al clásico original, sino también una innovadora reinterpretación que ofrece algo nuevo y emocionante para los espectadores. La coreografía de Wheeldon combina pasos clásicos con elementos modernos, creando una experiencia única y visualmente impresionante.

El bailarín brasileño Edson Barbosa ha interpretado el papel del empresario en esta versión desde su primer estreno en 2016. Para él, la clave para crear magia en el espectáculo es la dedicación y la preparación del director creativo, Wheeldon, quien se sumergió profundamente en la creación de este ballet.

"Ha sido maravilloso presenciar cómo Chris comenzó el ballet desde cero", dijo Barbosa. "Todo eso ha sido especial para todos nosotros en la compañía. Ha sido impresionante verlo, ensayarlo desde seis meses antes de su estreno; ha sido como ver crecer a un hijo propio, cuidarlo".

La Joffrey Ballet ofrece una experiencia única y emocionante con esta versión de "El cuento del picador". Para Edson Barbosa, la magia se encuentra en cada detalle, desde el árbol que te pasa de la realidad a la fantasía hasta el personaje del empresario. La idea detrás de este espectáculo es ofrecer algo nuevo y emocionante para los espectadores.

"El arte no es algo estático; siempre requiere estar actualizándose", dijo Barbosa. "No sólo nos mantiene entretenidos como bailarines, sino que también ofrecemos algo a la audiencia". Esta versión de "El cuento del picador" es un ejemplo perfecto de cómo el arte puede renovarse y cambiar, ofreciendo una experiencia única y emocionante para todos los espectadores.
