Description

We accompany Theseus into the centre of the labyrinth and make personal acquaintance with the Minotaur, the creature from the depths, the great black beast of our consciousness. But never fear: in this piece which is reminiscent of a dance divertissement, the action is nimble, lean and frolicsome, and it turns out that our Minotaur is really a nice guy who beneath his terrifying disguise is quite harmless and relishes his bad reputation like sour apples, or rather sour grapes. (Hans Werner Henze)
