MANILA, Philippines — "Carmina Burana," the acclaimed masterwork by National Artist for Dance, Alice Reyes, is set to the majestic music of Carl Orff.
"This is a company that has a repertoire. We have the ability to stage Filipino dance .masterpieces. Carmina Burana premiered in 1975 and it was a splendid production in music and motion. Any generation can dance the pieces, like Carmina Burana, so it becomes timeless," intimated NA Reyes, a pioneer of the Bayanihan Dance Company.
"Fifty to sixty Madrigal Singer members will sing the choral music, while 70/80 musicians will play with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra. 'Dugso' is a remounting, a piece that we haven't done in a while, while Bam Damian's 'After Whom' is ballet of the 21st century, where his dancers will be on pointe," Reyes added.
Norman Walker's pas de deux "Summer's End," a whimsical piece about a couple who fell in love one summertime, and Augustus 'Bam' Damian III's energetic number "After Whom," is a dynamic showcase of the company's prowess.
