Contemporary ballet 'Solaris'

​

In February 2018, Bhima's debut Ballet ‘Solaris’ was released. “Solaris” is a reflection inspired by a Stanislav Lem’s famous fantasy novel.

The scene of the story is laid at “Zemlya” cosmic station and in outer space. During the interplanetary journey, a human is fatally exploring his inner world. Perhaps it is where the power and undying light exist.

All six characters are equal, they are parts of the same personality, memory impressions and its unconsciousness. All of them are searching for something important but very distant. However, by following the characters a viewer realizes that he is the main character of the performance.

​

Bhima took an innovative approach to create the structure of the Play. All parts are interconnected and flow one into another, creating a strong sense of immersion and presence. In this ballet, the composer for the first time demonstrated on the big stage his unique style of working with percussion rhythms and voice, creating powerful ‘ritual’ compositions on their basis. Here we can also hear an unusual arrangement of the Prelude in B minor by Johann Sebastian Bach / Siloti performed by Bhima.
