Othello. Time

 

Marina Kesler’s ballet is inspired by one of the most captivating and exciting dramas of all time – William Shakespeare’s Othello and by Arvo Pärt’s music. Our daily life does not pass uneventfully and everyone has something to learn. But when do we lose control of our fate, so that our fate becomes in control of us? The production stresses the timelessness of human nature and depicts people’s ability of making choices. The moment of decision is preceded by a borderline state, where it is still possible to choose the line of action – good or bad. In the moment of confusion, when tormented by heartache and disappointment, decisions are made that cannot be undone. By choosing evil, you may lose everything. 

 

In 2007 Marina Kesler received the Estonian Theatre Award for the humane message and interesting choreography of her ballet Werewolf that premiered in the Estonian National Opera.
