CHOREOGRAPHER’S NOTE: “Departures is inspired by both the painting ‘Soft
Washington Park’s Rose Garden Amphitheater; Portland, Oregon
Hard’ by Wassily Kandinsky and by an original music composition by David Schulman. Framed by these shapes and sound, I wanted to play with a multitude of different relationships beginning and ending. The BodyVox Dance Center offers a unique opportunity to see the work in an intimate setting, having a closer look at the way each performer relates to the larger group gives the audience more access to the tensions and the pleasures of human connection.” —Helen Simoneau

CHOREOGRAPHY: NACHO DUATO STAGING: KEVIN IRVING & ALISON ROPER BALLET MASTER: JEFFREY STANTON MUSIC: M.J. BERBERIAN, Bir-Demet Yasemen LIGHTING DESIGN: MICHAEL MAZZOLA WORLD PREMIERE: April 27, 1989; Nederlands Dans Theater 2; The Hague, Netherlands
OBT PREMIERE: April 17, 2014; Newmark Theatre; Portland, Oregon
SYNOPSIS: Cor Perdut is a pas de deux inspired by the Catalan version
of the song sung by Maria del Mar Bonet. This particular interpretation is based upon a theme with traditional nuances composed by the Armenian M.J. Berberian. “It’s no use crying/it’s no use dying/desire is stronger/it goes its own way,” laments the impressive voice of Maria del Mar Bonet. Her hypnotic power on Duato, who created Cor Perdut as a birthday present for the Majorcan singer, is unquestionable considering that two of the Valencian’s most brilliant choreographies are Jardí Tancat (1983) and Arenal (1988), both to music by this interpreter. To the syncopatic and hypnotic rhythm of the Tunisian percussion instrument, the two dancers bring to life this choreographer’s dynamic corporal and expressive language with the same anxious fluency transmitted by the voice of Maria del Mar Bonet.

OREGON BALLE T THE ATRE • CLOSER
SYNOPSIS: The Portuguese word saudade has no direct English translation — it describes a feeling of longing and nostalgia for something that was lost, while also encompassing the joy found in those memories. The attempt to translate this idea through art guided both the music composition and the choreography for Saudade.
Oregon Ballet Theatre would like to express our most sincere thanks to our most generous sponsors.

SYNOPSIS: “The title Trance of Wondrous Thought is taken from the poem ‘Triumph
of Life’ by Percy Bysshe Shelley. The dancers I used are all in different stages of their career trajectory. I wanted to demonstrate that all are valued, both the very young and green, and the more mature and fully developed. The dancers as people are also all in very different life stages, with many in transition, and I wanted to honor that. I was interested in keeping the movement in a classical vein — that is my background and where I feel most comfortable.” —Lisa Kipp

SYNOPSIS: Sarkah explores the idea that we enrich our lives when we remember to
open ourselves and seek connection with others. The people that live their lives beside us occupy the moments that matter by witnessing and sharing our emotions, and the experiences that define us. The presence of those we keep close helps us see and dream of things we could otherwise miss... CLOSER • OREGON BALLE T THE ATRE
