Andersen’s Little Mermaid is reborn as Song of the Mermaid by K-Arts Ballet. Presented by Valentina Kozlova Dance Foundation and Korean Cultural Center NY.
After tragedy strikes his ship, a prince finds himself drifting beneath the ocean waves. Saved by a beautiful mermaid, he finds himself at the center of a fantastical aquatic festival. The noble mermaid soon finds herself enamored with the prince, only to have their love forbidden by the king of the ocean. To fulfill their romance, she must make a dangerous wager with an occultist.
Song of the Mermaid is a fantasy ballet from Korea, based off of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid”. It premiered as a lyrical pas de deux in 1997, and was eventually adapted as a full length story ballet in 2001. Choreographer Sunhee Kim strived to challenge her dancers by using an original score, composed by Hana Ryou, and incorporate unique and challenging neoclassical movements.
