6 Ways to Motivate Your Kids

“Matthew Bourne’s Sleeping Beauty” At the Ahmanson Theatre
Nov. 21st-Dec. 1st
In “Matthew Bourne’s Sleeping Beauty,” the traditional tale of good vs. evil, and of rebirth, is turned upside-down, creating a supernatural love story, across the decades, that even the passage of time itself cannot hinder. Perrault’s fairy tale about a young girl cursed to sleep for one hundred years was turned into a legendary ballet by Tchaikovsky and choreographer Marius Petipa in 1890. Matthew Bourne takes this date as his starting point, setting the christening of Aurora, the story’s heroine, the year of the ballet’s first performance at the height of the fin de siècle period when fairies, vampires and decadent opulence fed the gothic imagination.
