Thank you to everyone who is a part of this journey. You give me energy and purpose every single day. ❤️

"Når vi rækker ud til hinanden fra et respektfuldt og kærligt sted, så når vi hinanden bedre." 🌹

Alexander Stæger, iscenesætter og Bournonville-ambassadør, har iscenesat en helt ny sekvens i denne sæsons opsætning af balletten 'La Ventana'. Balletten handler om karaktererne Señor og Señorita, der forelsker sig i hinanden. Og hvor finder man lige et drama eller en konflikt i det? Stæger har i sin iscenesættelse set nærmere på selve den romantiske handling, bejleriet, og samtykke i disse.

Oplev 'La Ventana' i forbindelse med 'La Ventana og Kermessen i Brügge' på Gamle Scene frem til den 13. september. 💃

Solist ved Den Kgl. Ballet, Alexander Stæger, er sammen med tidligere solodanser og instruktør Rose Gad nyudnævnt Bournonville-ambassadør. Det betyder ifølge en pressemeddelelse, som er udsendt af Det Kgl. Teater i dag, at det bliver Stæger og Gad, der fremover skal "varetage og videreudvikle arven efter August Bournonville".

Jeg mødte i sidste uge Stæger til en samtale om hans første opsætning som instruktør, nemlig divertissementet La Ventana, der sammen med Rose Gad og Dinna Bjørns opsætning af Kermessen i Brügge får premiere nu på lørdag d. 30. august.

Det er Stægers debut som instruktør, og han fortæller i samtalen, at hans overvejelser, før han takkede ja til opgaven, mest handlede om forventningerne til at skabe en produktion til Gamle Scene – med det følger der store krav til billetsalg og et vist kvalitetsniveau. Til gengæld var der ikke nogen tøven i forhold til opgaven med varetagelsen af Bournonville-arven:

“Jeg føler mig ret sikker i hans stil og i hans værker. Jeg har haft 32 års gang her på teatret, og jeg føler, jeg har det ret godt i blodet. Det har også altid været mange af de roller, jeg selv har trivedes bedst i.”

Alexander Stæger blev optaget på Det Kgl. Teaters Balletskole i 1993 og ansat som aspirant i Den Kgl. Ballet i 2002. I 2011 blev han forfremmet til solist, men han har desuden erfaring som danser i udviklingsprojektet Corpus, som leder af Den Kgl. Ballets sommerskole og kunstnerisk leder af Den Kgl. Ballets udviklingsprojekt Koreorama.

I samtalen taler vi konkret om opsætningen af La Ventana, som han har udvidet med en vinkling og en rammefortælling om samtykke, men også om, hvor langt man kan og skal gå for at bevare traditionen og samtidig holde den levende:

“Jeg er ret tryg ved, at der er generationer som min egen, mit alderstrin, som har nået at opleve begge verdener. Som har haft Bournonville-skolerne ugentligt med vores Bournonville-eksperter her fra huset. Vi har været med i de gamle, helt gamle versioner af Sylfiden og Napoli og Et folkesagn. Og så også oplevet den her periode, hvor vi har eksperimenteret mere med arven…. det er jo også vores ansvar at steppe op.”
