P4 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE director’s note Matthew Bourne it was in spring 2011, during a private tour of Tchaikovsky’s country retreat just outside of Moscow, that I decided to make The Sleeping Beauty my next project. What better way to celebrate our company’s 25th birthday? I returned home to London with a waltz in my step and a summer of research stretching before me. I started by reading all the versions of the story that I could find. Of course, they have much in common, but there are big differences, too. The Grimms’ version, known as “Little Briar Rose,” is much closer than Perrault’s original to the story we all know, while the Disney animated film version allowed itself more liberties than one might have expected. I took something from each of these versions, but when one is approaching Sleeping Beauty as a piece of dance theatre, it is the music that Tchaikovsky wrote for his collaboration with Hannah Vassallo. photo by simon annand. choreographer Marius Petipa that must provide the structure. What the ballet score gives you that the fairy tale does not a wonderfully malevolent musical world for Carabosse in are reasons to dance, or ideas for dance: fairy variations, the Prologue, but then those themes barely appear again in a lengthy vision scene, a hunting scene and several pas the ballet, thereby sidelining this great character. I believe de deux, trois and quatre. It dictates the action and adds we have solved that narrative problem as well with the emotion, drama and character. In fact it becomes the script. introduction of another new character, Carabosse’s faithful son Caradoc. When I first looked at this story I also asked myself what made it less than satisfying as a narrative. Two things were All versions of The Sleeping Beauty begin with the lines “Once clear, in the ballet scenario at least: no love story and no upon a time there was a King and Queen who had not been narrative tension in the last act once Aurora has woken up. blessed with an heir” or “could not have a child” or some Unless you believe in love at first sight, Aurora’s love for her such phrase. I have taken this as the tale’s starting point Prince is unconvincing, with the hero and heroine only really and tried to give the dark fairy Carabosse a more compelling meeting at the very end of the story. It’s impossible to feel motive for doing harm to the child. Maybe the royal couple anything for them. went to the dark side to obtain a child to call their own? This, in turn, threw up lots of ideas about Aurora herself. Was she Interestingly, Walt Disney, one of the 20th century’s great the child of an ordinary working family rather than a royal storytellers, also recognized this flaw in the story for a modern princess? A gypsy child? An interesting character formed in audience. In his 1959 retelling, Aurora as a young girl meets her my mind: a feisty, nature loving wild child, happier running Prince, thinking he is a commoner, and falls in love just before through the forest barefoot than living the stuffy life of a her fate is sealed with the prick of her finger. The dilemma princess. In movement terms, and considering our timeline, becomes that of how the Prince can break the spell and keep as a young girl she could be an Isadora Duncan figure – a new their love alive, creating a beautiful tragic love story and a kind of forward-looking, emancipated young woman. logical and dramatic tension in one stroke. Thank you, Walt! As well as being a classic good vs. evil story, Sleeping Beauty In our version, Aurora’s blossoming love for Leo, her is also about growing up and rebirth – what contemporary childhood sweetheart, is cut short by the fulfillment of writers would call a “rites of passage” story. It is also full of Carabosse’s curse. The dilemma becomes “how can he still fascinating symbolism. The prick of the finger and the letting be around for her when she wakes up in 100 years’ time.” I of blood are clearly symbolic of a young girl’s journey into leave you to guess what happens, but a clue could be in the womanhood. At the end of the story the “kiss” of true love, name of our “Lilac Fairy” figure, Count Lilac! (The Sleeping and the eventual acceptance of the Prince, who has also had Beauty ballet has fairies, spells, magical curses and the like, to prove his manhood, suggest that they are now both ready so why not vampires, too? Our subtle use of that myth serves for physical love and fulfillment. The “sleep” also seems to as a valuable plot device.) symbolize that lethargic period in teenagers’ lives when they Disney also recognized one of the central themes of the don’t want to engage with the world and their parents often story: good vs. evil.
