Berlin: premiere of Bovary - Christian Spuck stages Flauber's novel about the failure of a bourgeois marriage
"Bovary" is the first premiere of Christian Spuck as the new director of the Berlin State Ballet. The staging is based on the novel by Gustave Flaubert, who addresses the failure of a bourgeois marriage. According to the RBB dance expert Frank Schmid, Spuck's staging surprisingly follows the novel.
The Berlin State Ballet is one of the leading ballet troops in Germany and enjoys great recognition both nationally and internationally. The premiere of "Bovary" is an important event in the Berlin art scene and attracts many interested parties and dance enthusiasts.
The choice of Gustave Flaubert's novel as a template for the premiere could also establish a connection to Berlin as a cultural city. Berlin has a rich history of literature and is known for its cultural diversity and open atmosphere. The performance of "Bovary" continues this tradition and strengthened the city timing.
The staging of spit could also have local effects. By telling the history of a bourgeois marriage on stage, spectators can identify with the characters and their challenges. This could lead to discussions in society about relationships, marriage and personal happiness.
