Gala con inconfundible sabor latino
Ya el American Ballet Theatre (ABT) ha presentado otras veces una función dedicada a los hispanos en su usual temporada en el Metropolitan de Nueva York. No obstante, la Gala de este año celebrada el 16 de mayo, sin ser denominada como un homenaje a los hispanos, tal parecía ser así.

El Teatro de la Ville de París ha presentado en su segunda sede del teatro de Abbesses (en pleno corazón de Montmartre), el solo “El funámbulo”, de un poco más de una hora de duración, una obra de Angelin Preljocaj que data de 2009 sobre el “poema en prosa” del mismo título del escritor francés Jean Genet, que se publicó en Gallimard en 1955.
Preljocaj, el intérprete de su propio solo (el coreógrafo le debería al texto iluminador de Genet el decidirse por su vocación, o sea, se trata de una pieza decididamente personal), decidió para esta ocasión transmitirle la obra al ex danseur étoile de la Ópera de París Wilfried Romoli, recordado todavía por su sensibilidad “contemporánea”.
