Hi everyone!
Welcome to Pointe by Pointe's production of the ballet 'The Firebird'. I would like to thank everyone for coming! Our dancers have worked very hard and are very excited to show you everything they've done! A big thank you to all our backstage helpers; especially Gemwee and Dancerat for helping with costuming and hairstyling. Please turn off all devices that give off sound or light, such as pagers and cell phones. Flash photography is therefore also not allowed as it may distract the dancers. I hope you'll enjoy the show!

~ The story ~
In a dense and mysterious forest a young man (Prince Ivan) is hunting. *
www.dance.net . . .* He hears strange and ominous sound and then sees a fiery light that sweeps the air and suddenly turns into the glittering image of the Firebird. *
www.dance.net . . .* So as not to frighten her away, he runs to hide as the shining creature leaps onto the scene. The Young Man returns and, fascinated with this shimmering creature, part magical-bird and part-beautiful woman, he attempts to capture her. Terrified, she alternates between frozen immobility and the wild fluttering of escape. She pleads for her freedom and the Young Man releases her. In gratitude she dances for him and with him. Before she leaves, she takes a feather from her breast, indicates that it is a magical feather that will protect him from danger, and then leaps high into the air and disappears from view. *

In the gardens of the Prince of Evil(Kastchei)(Queen in our version), the Young Man comes upon a group of Beautiful Maidens, led by the Princess of Unreal Beauty(Czarevina). He watches their simple and joyous dances for a moment and then steps forth from hiding. The Beautiful Maidens are alarmed, particularly so when the young man tries to meet the Princess of Unreal Beauty. But the Princess of Unreal Beauty steps forward and they begin to dance. *

Suddenly darkness settles over the scene and with a crash of music, Creatures of Evil appear and attack. (This will be a fight with the princesses) The Young Man starts to flee but remembers that the magic feather will protect him. He stands his ground against the Creatures of Evil and the wicked Prince of Evil who has joined them. *

There is a flash and the Firebird appears. With incredible swiftness she circles the stage leaving a wake of fire. *
www.dance.net . . .* The Firebird destroys the Prince of Evil(Kastchei) and the Forest darkens. In a final, softly shining lullaby, she brings peace to the forest and then flutters out of view. *

In the final scene, the princesses celebrate the wedding of the Young Man and the Princess of Unreal Beauty. *
