The staging of Playlist by William Forsythe with José Carlos Blanco Martínez begins
It will be premiere the 25/26 season at the Teatro de la Zarzuela
The former dancer of the CND and stager of William Forsythe since 2022, José Carlos Blanco, has returned to the company’s headquarters for the staging of Playlist (Track 1, 2), an innovative and highly demanding work at a technical level for the twelve male performers for whom it is conceived.
The premiere of this work, based on the idea of a “playlist” with music by Peven Everett (Surely Shorty) and Lion Babe (Impossible, Jax Jones remix) is scheduled for December at the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid, as part of the NumEros program, alongside Serenade by George Balanchine and Echoes from a Restless Soul by Jacopo Godani.
With José Carlos Blanco, the dancers have worked thoroughly to achieve the versatility and technical range that this work requires, which fuses classical and contemporary dance and incorporates it into the CND’s repertoire for the upcoming season.
