description
Balladyna is a two-act ballet performance based on Juliusz Słowacki’s drama to the music by Fryderyk Chopin. On the one hand, it is a deeply Polish but, on the other hand, universal romantic story about how the need for love and power puts our loyalty and morality to the test. The axis of the performance is the figure of Balladyna, a beautiful girl of the common people, dreaming - initially innocent – dreams of loving and standing out from the crowd. But when it comes to the point where these dreams can come true, she decides to violate the rules of law and ethics and kills her sister Alina, which fuels a spiral of crime from which there is no turning back.
Balladyna is a beautiful and complex story in which the human and divine orders intermingle and the question of responsibility for own acts strikes like lightning.
