Ballet about Caravaggio

Montage of Caravaggio paintings, demonstrating
chairoscuro - lively contrast of dark and light

28 Sept 2011: We went to the Playhouse for a modern Ballet performance, based on the life of Caravaggio. Apparently, it was the world premiere! and on the very night we attended. The music varied from pure electronic to very modern italian dance music, and for much of the time, the dancers were leading towards arrangements of subjects that appeared in the paintings - such as Doubting Thomas, or David and Goliath.
  We saw a Caravaggio last week in Genova in the Palazzo Bianco, and I wish I could remember which one it was.
  The ballet was put on by the Darshan Singh Bhuller company (and he was sitting with the audience viewing his creation).
  The ballet starts with Caravaggio (1571-1610) dying of fever and having flashbacks to his turbulent life - and it was an  extraordinary life, shared with Popes, prostitutes, beggars, rent boys, gamblers etc. The Ballet culminates with the game of royal Tennis in which he got into an argument over a bet, and finished killing the other man - for the rest of his life, he was on the run - still painting. I gather that he was due for a papal pardon at the age of 39, but he died of fever while travelling to Rome.
