ballet: Scapino or NDT?
Last night my girlfriend asked if I would like to go to "Twools" a ballet by Scapino Rotterdam. I often say yes, I like modern ballet and I'm always positive for a night's out to theaters and such. Most of the times I'm also upfront about questions and answers. I said that I wouldn't like to go. And then I said something about preferring the normal programmes of Scapino, or preferring DanceWorks Rotterdam and any Nederlands Dans Theater show above Twools.
Well, it didn't go that good, the conversation.
I think that she just wants to go somewhere with me, and that she does with a lot of enthousiasm. Being together and experiencing things together is important for her. For me is important as well, but the show, the place, the movie or the things we are supposed to do are also a matter of choice. I want to choose, so it seems. I would prefer to know what we are up to.
At the end I think that 'Antonio's choice' are happy choices, because it reveals commitment, knowledge, interest, depth or a kind of inner passion. However, sometimes happy choices don't make people happy.
