Les bulles de savon (Soap Bubbles)
From Jeux d'Enfant, Opus 22
Composed by George Bizet
John Carrafa with Katie Glasner, Shelley Washington, Jennifer Way
From the original program: "This American Dance Festival "Golden Commission" was made possible by a generous contribution from GrandMet USA, Inc."
The American Dance Festival commissioned Sorrow Floats as part of its 50th anniversary season. The male role, based on the Commedia dell’Arte character Pierrot, is accompanied by a chorus of three women. The choreography combines pantomime, ballroom, breakdancing and classical ballet in a light, whimsical work.
