DANZA&DANZA International Magazine

In this issue of Danza&Danza International we dedicate the cover story to Jean-Christophe Maillot, who has reached the threshold of four decades of activity and three at the helm of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo. He also counts among his most faithful collaborators Jérôme Kaplan, the internationally renowned set and costume designer who, in the following pages, reveals how his passion was born and, above all, what moves his art when he finds himself fully imagining a new ballet.
We also meet Edward Clug, the director of the Slovenian National Ballet (SNG Maribor) and world-renowned choreographer, fresh from his new "Midsummer Night’s Dream" for the Staatsballett Berlin and soon to arrive at La Scala Theatre in Milan where the company will take to the stage with his successful work "Peer Gynt".
One of Italy's most sought-after dancers, Alice Raffaelli is a magnetic and eclectic performer. We went to get to know her better.
Last but not least, we could not fail to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Maurice Ravel’s birth by recalling how fundamental his most famous piece, "Boléro", has been to the history of dance. Reviews and news from around the world.
