the hill
premiere at greek national ballet
The idea for the work "The Hill" comes from an image described by the sculptor Alberto Giacometti in his Writings:
“I saw myself in a strange clearing, a vaguely circular space [...], whose limits [...] were lost in an atmosphere that was dense and light at the same time, and very soft. All around me, [...] small hills alternating in indefinable, whitish constructions [...]. But those hills, those constructions, were complex, surrounded by resonances, and I felt that they were gestures, sounds of voices, movements, stains, sensations from another era, far from each other, in time [...]. Those sensations turned into objects, existed simultaneously in the space around me and amazed me”
(Writings - Alberto Giacometti, 1901 - 1966).
