A destructive ballet about Sleeping Beauty meeting reality.
Sleeping Beauty is the peak of romantic ballet. The dancers appear to be hovering, almost as if they were as imaginary as sleeping beauty herself.
Tornerose skal dø, marks the debut from Biering/Chemnitz on The Royal Danish Ballet. The objective: To fuck with the dream world.
Their dance of destruction will show the sweaty jockstraps, injuries and gravity luring beneath the dazzling beauty of classical ballet.
Biering/Chemnitz consists of director Tue Biering and scenographer Marie Rosendahl Chemnitz. Tue Biering is famous for employing actual prostitutes in a staging of Pretty Woman and outsourcing an entire production of Elves' Hill to Bangladesh.
Tornerose skal dø, is a collaboration between Corpus and Biering/Chemnitz, and the result is a ballet with seven dancers from The Royal Danish Ballet – seen for who they really are.
