Keywords:
choreography, scenography, collage, allusion, quote, irony, Schumann, Schnittke, Donner, HoffmannAbstract
In this article, the ballet Sandmann (2006, choreographer Christian Spuck) is researched in the context of the aesthetic of postmodernism. This raises the question of what exactly is a ‘postmodern ballet’, what is ‘postmodern dance’, and what are the differences between the two. The main part of this article is intended as an example of the ballet’s analysis, and certain criteria have been selected. Therefore, the analysis is based on three pillars that are of major importance in every ballet: music, choreography and scenography. The article is divided into two parts: the first one stresses the main theatre and dance related events and movements that are associated with postmodernism; the second one concentrates on the ballet Sandmann.
