The Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, to Claude Debussy’s music, inspired by Stéphane Mallarmé’s text, is a musical poem about the ephemeral, absence, and extinction.
Thierry de Mey captures Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker’s choreography in the harsh scene of a catastrophe: the diminishing Aral Sea. An androgynous faun gets caught up in the impossible quest to hold on to what is bound to vanish.
