I am researching an undergraduate senior thesis that will explore Lolita
and its adaptations in the dance world. So far I have uncovered only a few
performances: a 2003 ballet choreographed by Davide Bombana (Italian) and
set on the Ballet du Grand Theatre de Geneve; a 2001 version performed by
Greek dance company, Proskairi Synthesi; a version entitled, "Lolita,
Lullaby for a Man," choreographed by Yevgeny Panfilov (Perm, Russia) and
performed by his contemporary ballet company at the American Dance
Festival and in Poland (circa 1996). There was also a work by Jennifer
Hart called, "Green Fruit," inspired by Lolita, and choreographer Matthew
Bourne said in a 1999 article that he was contemplating choreographing a
Lolita work.

For these performances, I am looking for videotapes, as well as interviews
with the choreographers (although Panfilov was murdered in 2001 or 2002)
and dancers. I am also interested in any other dance works that may have
been choreographed outside of these few. Does anyone have any leads?
