My Inner Sylphide

Overview

For Wakamatsu, whose first performance was Les Sylphides, Sylphides had the resonance of youth. Isadora Duncan's Chopin collection was supervised by Fokin, while Glazunov and Keller transformed Chopin's music to create a suite, which they named Les Sylphides, a play on La Sylphide. This was also the beginning of modern ballet. Both Hagoromo [from Japanese mythology] and Sylphide are male ideals - ideals which disappear when they become reality. The more unattainable an ideal is, the more beautiful it is.

- Participated in the ACA National Arts Festival 1978
