Lauren Cuthbertson in Wheeldon’s The Winter’s Tale, Royal Ballet, April 2016. © Johan Persson.When Hermione (Lauren Cuthbertson) confronts Leontes (Edward Watson) after her trial for adultery, Wheeldon gives her a poignant solo in choreography that lacks psychological insight and physical plausibility. There is no indication that she has recently given birth or that she aches to cradle her missing baby. Instead, she spins wistfully in arabesque, rising repeatedly on pointe as her signature step. -- source link
