Item #3
- Title:Imploded
- Item Synopsis / Program Notes:
100 years after its original premier, Tanja Liedtke created a quirky, athletic and touching tribute to the first ever non-narrative ballet — ‘Les Sylphides’. With dancers assuming the cheeky and mischievous attributes of sylphs, there are more than a few references to this infamous Ballet…although ballet this certainly is not. With kind permission of Gerlinde Liedtke, Tanja’s mother. David’s visit is courtesy of the Scottish Arts Council, ASWARA and Yayasan Sime Darby.
