Jeu de cartes
Ballet in one act
to music by Igor Stravinsky
Hazardous Play
We are not card-players, there will be no cards in the ballet. The meaning of the original title which we have kept may be interpreted as follows: to dance to music by Stravinsky is always a bit of a gamble - how not to lose count. To compose a ballet for Maya Mikhailovna Plisetskaya’s birthday is even more of a gamble. We will go for broke!
