Programme 2 - The Four Temperaments/Do Not Go Gentle/Live
The Four Temperaments - with music by Paul Hindemith, which examines the four main medieval personality characteristics: the melancholic, the sanguinic, the phlegmatic and the choleric.
Do Not Go Gentle is Krzysztof Pastor's rendering of Stravinsky's
In memoriam Dylan Thomas, at tribute to and interpretation of Thomas' poem, written after the death of his father.
Live - a ballet for just two dancers and one cameraman. A huge success at the Edinburgh Festival in 1998, the piece originates in van Manen's fascination with the moving image. The movements of the dancers are immediately projected onto the screen behind them, exploring the limitations imposed by the spatial dimensions of the stage.
