Delibes: Coppélia

About This Movie

So, this version of Coppélia really takes a bold leap into the future, doesn't it? Set in a cybernetic lab, it explores themes of humanity versus artificiality, which feels quite relevant today. The Doctor Coppélius character is interesting, trying to design an android that mimics human behavior. The atmosphere is a mix of high-tech vibes and classical ballet, creating a unique juxtaposition that you don’t see every day. The Víctor Ullate Ballet really injects new life into the classic tale, melding the old and the new with great pacing. The performances are engaging, and the use of practical effects really enhances the emotional weight of the story. Definitely a different take on a familiar narrative.
