The Great Bean, a dance act that you will remember for a while...
A few weeks ago I went to the theatre in Dordrecht in het Energiehuis. A cultural centre with (music)theatres and classrooms for people to practice their art (music lessons, dance lessons, painting lessons and what so ever.) Anyways, I went to the performance of The Great Bean. A performance by dance acts (Scapino Ballet.) The performance was devided in three pieces. The first was about growing older, the second was about appearing (I believe) and the third was the actual Great Bean about the early twenties. The first two performances lasted both about twenty minutes, the third was somewhat longer, about forthy five minutes. I'll tell you all about the third act:
The twenties, time of celebration after a period of war. People started to dance on happy songs and the haute couture transformed into twirling skirts above the ankles. It was a happy time. It was also the time of the fast raising entertainment branche. Films were made, bands got formed and fancy dance styles emerged. For one of the main characters in this play the world changes to fast. The creepiest clown I have ever seen. His part in entertainment is hard to keep up with. He struggles.
Although he wasn't successful in his time, here he is the star of the show.
