Artistic Director of Scottish Ballet, Christopher Hampson, the choreographers and the people behind this poignant ballet talk about the performance, with clips from rehearsals of Duets (http://www.eif.co.uk/duets) by the passionate, talented dancers from the Scottish Ballet. Darrell\’s poignant Five Rückert Songs embodies the feelings in Friedrich Rückert\’s poetry on love, loss and loneliness with lingering steps and sweeping choreography. His Chéri is based closely on the famous novel by Colette, and traces the story of a passionate and ultimately tragic affair between young lovers. Duets was part of the 2013 Edinburgh International Festival.
