국립발레단 버전으로 새롭게 탄생한 '해적'... 음악 편곡, 해피엔딩으로 설정<br /><br />After delays due to COVID-19, the Korean National Ballet finally got to reveal its new show.<br />It is a fast-paced reinterpretation of the French performance 'Le Corsaire'.<br />Kim Bo-kyoung gives us a sneak peek.<br />Gorgeous yet powerful movements mesmerize the audience.<br />At Seoul Arts Center, the Korean National Ballet presents 'Le Corsaire',... which is originally based on an epic poem by Lord Byron.<br />The show was originally set to be staged in June,... but had to be delayed due to COVID-19.<br />Although it is based on the original version by French dancer and choreographer Marius Petipa,... the Korean National Ballet has added its own flavor to the show.<br />Young ballet dancer Song Jung-bin who is in charge of choreography, says he made some changes to the original.<br />"To let the audience forget about the reality even for a short time, I tried to make it entertaining. The show goes on very quickly as I made it into two acts instead of three,... and it has a happy ending."<br />The show depicts the journey of a pirate ship steered by Conrad the captain, in search of his love Medora who was taken by the King.<br />Around half of the songs from the original version were rearranged and several new songs were composed to fit the new storyline.<br />The choreographer explained why he made the changes.<br />"One of the most remarkable scenes is where the crew of the ship dance on the deck. I thought the original version didn't have enough scenes of pirates dancing,... so I made it, hoping it could deliver more energy to the audience."<br />He added the Pas de Trois a French term for a dance of three people, where the main characters Medora, Conrad and Ali dance together, is also one of the highlights.<br />The show is performed daily at the Seoul Arts Center until November 8th.<br />Kim Bo-kyoung, Arirang News.<br />
