An adaptation of August Bournonville’s Romantic classic La
Sylphide, SPIRIT OF THE HIGHLANDS
re-imagines the tale of James Munro, a young Scotsman. James is set to be
married to a woman named Effie, when he catches sight of a mystical
fairy, known as The Sylph. Entranced by her magical beauty, he abandons
his betrothed to follow The Sylph into the forest to proclaim his
devotion. However, through his pursuits, he is tricked by the evil witch
Madge and eventually loses everything he holds dear.
Ethan Stiefel,
the Nora
C. Orphanides Artist in Residence, traces his mother's family roots back to the Scottish
Highland Clan Munro, infusing his heritage into the choreography and
aesthetics of this lively and bewitching ballet.
