When a classic becomes a mirror of the current situation. When anyone can be manipulated by unreal desires. When reality becomes fiction.

This ballet is considered a dramatic comedy. This production shows how the group of dancers defend an updated a version of the classic. Miquel G. Font is the one who designed the mirror in which he show how the classic story of the inventor who creates a realistic doll and a young man falls in love with her is reflected in the current situation, with a black humour and with clear messages anyone can feel identified with, directly or indirectly. Also at the choreographic level, with the precision required by his work and excluding the typical internal hierarchy of classic productions such as roles, genres or main characters, with a global aesthetic between realistic and conceptual, Coppélia’s general message reach our minds both visually and acoustically thanks to Léo Delibes’ music.
