Sleeping Beauty is one of the world‘s most famous classical ballets and holds a place in the repertoire of virtually every major company. This ballet tells the enchanting story of Aurora and her prince complete with its inherently magical qualities and dazzling choreography.
The fairy tale about a young woman placed under a spell to sleep for a hundred years only to be awakened by a kiss is an easily accessible story. It appeals to a child’s imagination and holds a special place in the hearts of adults. The underlying theme is the tug between the forces of good (the Lilac Fairy) and evil (Carabosse), serving as an important thread to the plot. Told in three acts, the ballet benefits from the character development and technical expertise for which Ballet Jörgen is known.
Artistic Director and award-winning choreographer Bengt Jörgen focuses on the magical elements and the interpretation of the ballet as a nature allegory: The young woman represents nature, the wicked fairy is winter, who deadens life with pricks of frost until a young man, spring, cuts away the brambles to allow the sun to awaken sleeping nature. Sleeping Beauty by Ballet Jörgen draws on the traditional choreography by Marius Petipa to spin a tale of nature and love that will inspire young and old alike.

Ce ballet d’envergure raconte l’histoire enchanteresse d’Aurore et de son prince, avec des qualités magiques inhérentes et une chorégraphie éblouissante.
La belle au bois dormant est une jeune femme ensorcelée qui dort pendant cent ans et qui est réveillée par un baiser. L’histoire fait appel à l’imagination des enfants et tient une place particulière dans le cœur des adultes. Le thème sous-jacent est le tiraillement entre les forces du bien (la fée des Lilas) et du mal (Carabosse), qui sert de fil conducteur à l’intrigue. Raconté en trois actes, le ballet bénéficie du développement des personnages et de l’expertise technique qui font la réputation du Ballet Jörgen du Canada.
Le directeur artistique et chorégraphe primé Bengt Jörgen met l’accent sur les éléments magiques et sur l’interprétation du ballet en tant qu’allégorie de la nature : La jeune femme représente la nature, la méchante fée est l’hiver, qui éteint la vie par des coups de gel, jusqu’à ce qu’un jeune homme, le printemps, coupe les ronces pour permettre au soleil de réveiller la nature endormie. La Belle au bois dormant du Ballet Jörgen du Canada s’inspire de la chorégraphie traditionnelle de Marius Petipa pour créer un conte sur la nature et l’amour qui inspirera petits et grands.
