Jardí Tancat

Music by María del Mar Bonet
Costume Design by Nacho Duato
Lighting Design by Nicolás Fischtel, according to the original design by Joop Caboort

Duato’s very first work, based on Catalonian folk tales sung by Maria del Mar Bonet, won him first prize at the International Choreographic Workshop in Cologne. With equal shades of passion and melancholy, the ballet evokes the despairing yet hopeful prayers of Spaniards who wait for rain on their barren land.
