THE GREAT GATSBY

THE GREAT GATSBY

The negative aspects of the American Dream and the rigidity of high social circles in New York between the two World Wars, which did not allow for social mobility between classes, serve as the backdrop for the story of a mysterious millionaire who becomes a victim of his own love and beliefs. Francis Scott Fitzgerald's literary masterpiece, which became a great American novel after the author's death, is set in New York during the Jazz Age, specifically the wild 1920s. This era of uninhibited hedonism and general decadence was also marked by a sudden rise in wealthy individuals, including the titular character of the novel, Jay Gatsby, a millionaire obsessed with his love for Daisy Buchanan.
A lively, dynamic, and cosmopolitan musical landscape accompanies this dance story, featuring selections from works by great American composers such as Philip Glass, Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin, Louis Prima, Samuel Barber, Glenn Miller, and George Whitefield Chadwick. Such a musical backdrop creates a perfect sonic and emotional foundation for the dance narrative of a world of glamour, ambition, leisure, and moral emptiness within the upper echelons of American society at that time.

Music Philip Glass, Leonard Brenstein, George Gershwin, Louis Prima, Samuel Barber, Glen Miller, George Whitefield Chadwick
