Bournonville
in Hell
by Alexandra
Tomalonis
A
series of three articles outlining the posthumous performance history
of Bournonville's ballets in Denmark from 1879 to 1992, the tragic events
that befell those works after that time, their current condition, and
a gloomy prognosis for their future. These articles were originally
published in DanceView magazine. A shortened, two-part version
was published in the British quarterly Dance Now, under the
titles "Bournonville in Hell" (Spring 1998) and "The
Mermaid's Head" (Summer 1998). This version has been modified slightly
from the original which appeared in DanceView.
