The final performed dance was Bench.
I didn’t really like this dance at all. One
dancer made other dancers fall and
other dancers would pick each other up
again. In the end, all the dancers
would lie on the ground. I think it was
about the destructive force of one
man. Images of the world were shown
on a digital screen behind the dancers.
To me it was like Jennifer Muller
wanted to show that people were
destroying the world and that even though there are more people fighting for the
world than people fighting against the world, the world can’t be fixed while
people are fighting against it. I didn’t like this dance, because I don’t like the
subject: the destructive force of man and nature. I also didn’t like this dance
because the dance steps were very boring to watch and because I didn’t like the
music. I think the biggest cause of my dislike was that it was very long and I had
already watched three other dances.
Overall, it was pretty nice. I thought I would not like ballet at all and I thought I
would understand it better, but it was hard to find a story in the dancers and it
was quite interesting to try and find it. Ballet is still something I would not watch
for fun, but now I understand why others would.
