Fantasia

In reviews Fantasía (1993) has been described, among other things, as ‘one of the best pieces made for the company’. It is a typical Van Manen ballet: optimal expressiveness coupled with structural precision, simplicity and purity. It is a game of seduction between three women and three men. Van Manen set Fantasía to a choral prelude and a choral transcription of Busoni’s Bach piano adaption.
