Forget what you thought you knew. Ballet BC brings three choreographers who are reshaping contemporary ballet. Solo Echo by Canadian choreographer Crystal Pite softly lures you into a wintery melancholy, inspired by the poem “Lines for Winter” by Mark Strand and set to two sonatas for cello and piano by Johannes Brahms. Then a World Premiere of a New Work by Belgian-born Stijn Celis will take you to a world of sacred texts spanning human existence from darkness to light.


Finally, Cayetano Soto's Twenty Eight Thousand Waves is an examination of adaptation and boundaries, inspired by the fact that an oil tanker at sea is hit, on average, twenty eight thousand times a day by waves.

“…Physically rigorous, dramatically solid, and truly contemporary.” - Dance Magazine
