Three new choreographies for Ballet BC will reach the European stages:
PASSING (2023) from Swedish choreographer Johan Inger explores the vulnerabilities and sensitivities that make us individuals. The edgy Heart Drive (2022) by dynamic sibling duo Imre and Marne van Opstal is a 30-minute piece for eight dancers who move to an ominous, beat-driven score by Amos Ben-Tal. Also on the bill is Walerski’s Silent Tides (2020), a beautiful duet that reflects our relationships to one another and to ourselves.
