The carefree, dizzying rhythms of the 1920s, smoky jazz and screeching metallic swing, life raging in the haze of lamplight, and the yearning for morning not to come so soon... This new première from the Miskolc Ballet re-imagines American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel, The Great Gatsby. The tale is set in the 1920s, on the east coast of the United States, where the members of the upper crust celebrate their boundless wealth at glittering soirées held in seaside mansions. Jay Gat...sby is one of them: handsome, mysterious, and filthy rich. But it soon emerges that Gatsby is not who he first appears to be, and that his interest in Daisy Buchanan, a prominent - and married - beauty, is about more than simple desire. As the secrets of Gatsby's past come to light, and the threat of a sensational scandal grows ever nearer, the adage that money isn't everything seems more and more apt - because what people really need is not something you can buy.
The Great Gatsby is about the unfettered pursuit of wealth and power, as well as an enthralling love that spans years and continents. Several film adaptations have been created since it was first published, most recently a 2013 version starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan in the leading roles. Now the dancers of the Miskolc Ballet will be bringing to the stage this seminal novel from the American literary canon.
