Magazine «tanz» honours Staatsballett & Weronika Frodyma
Double recognition for the Staatsballett Berlin in the «Jahrbuch 2024» of the magazine tanz: In the annual survey for the 2023/24 season, critics selected Weronika Frodyma as «Dancer of the Year» and the Staatsballett Berlin as «Company of the Year.»
The accolades state:
«The dancer, born in Poland, is sensational as Emma Bovary; the production breathes with her. Frodyma manages to vividly portray the development of the unhappy heroine: from the naive provincial beauty who escapes into clichéd romantic fantasies to the unfaithful wife driven by boredom. Throughout, she unfolds the entire emotional spectrum: yearning and longing, romantic exaltation, the intoxication of desire – and finally, disillusionment, a descent into melancholy and despair.»
Sandra Luzina in the "Jahrbuch 2024» of the magazine tanz
«Trimming a dramaturgy to make it contemporary isn't difficult. But recognizing when to demand classical elements from an ensemble and when to challenge them with modernity is a great art. Spuck can ask a lot from his dancers, not only from the stars but also from the corps de ballet. One must take off one's hat to what this ensemble can do and how multifaceted, diverse, and curious it is, despite all its technical brilliance.»
Falk Schreiber in the "Jahrbuch 2024» of the magazine tanz
