PROMETHEUS THE HERO
„Beethoven’s music is glowing than the fire.
On the one hand, it was my intention in order to make visible - by the way of dance -the youthful Beethoven’s exuberant musical world.
In the other hand, I want to create a persiflage-ballet for Prometheus heroic mythical story. The ballet in this way kind of demystification of his heroic myth.
In my interpretation Prometheus is an anti hero, who turns into a hero despite his intention.
Prometheus is an amorous young man, who would like to get Pandora on all prices.
In my ballet the feminine side of Prometheus dominate in his character. Opposite this, Pandora’s character kind of „macho”. By virtue of this, the two characters in themselves just like Yin and Jang.
The fire as a strong and elemnatry symbol significantly appears in the ballet. The fire is a symbol, that it expresses a man's desire after the unknown, after light and after knowledge. The fire that the gods possess and what blaze above on the top of the mountaine of Olympos.
Just like in the case of the biblical Eva, Pandora likewise casts an eye to the secret object whit this causes problemes. She order from Prometheus – who is in love in her - to brings the fire down for her on all prizes.
This desire and strong order of Pandora unexpectedly and finally makes that Prometheus became a hero.
This situation gives a tragicomically flavor to the story and the ballet turns into kind of burlesque.”
Attila Egerházi
Představení je věnováno Jiřímu Kyliánovi k jeho 70. narozeninám.
