Tchaikovsky: Sleeping Beauty

This version of Sleeping Beauty features the music of Tchaikovsky, originally premiered in St. Petersburg in 1890. Christian Spuck's interpretation brings humor and a fresh perspective to the narrative, exploring themes of growing up, generational conflicts, and love.

Spuck's artistic style challenges traditional role clichés, allowing the characters to break free from their expected behaviors. He references Petipa’s original choreography while also questioning and subverting it with irony. This film not only celebrates Tchaikovsky’s music but also offers a thought-provoking look at the complexities of maturity and relationships.
