10. Why did Cinderella
pretend to be asleep?
Answers
Answer:
The fairy gods were smiling last week (when they weren’t grimacing) as, against all odds, two important choreographers, on consecutive nights, brought their cheeky versions of two of our best-loved fairy tales to town. Are these ballets timeless, like the stories themselves? Far from it. Do I want to see them again? Nope. Do they have virtues? They do, and no surprise, since both Christopher Wheeldon and Matthew Bourne have smarts and audacity. What more do you need? Well …
Wheeldon, creating his Cinderella for the San Francisco Ballet and the Dutch National Ballet, faced the same problem all Cinderella ballets face: the score. It’s Prokofiev, and there’s too much of it. (The same is true of his Romeo and Juliet—there’s more music than is needed, and choreographers have to pad and vamp.) The best version is Ashton’s, on view this coming spring season at ABT, which has ravishing passages and effective slapstick (the stepsisters) and is coherent. But it’s defeated, finally, by the absence of a satisfying conclusion—the romantic resolution just isn’t there in the music. Besides, Cinderella isn’t an interesting figure; she’s a projection of young girls’ fantasies—things happen to her, but she doesn’t take action on her own. It doesn’t take a lot of gumption to be fitted for a glass slipper. ABT’s recent version, by James Kudelka, was dull, duller, dullest, beginning with a first act in which nothing happens except that Cinderella sweeps and sweeps. With luck, it’s gone forever.
