Los Angeles Ballet presents an evening of works by Tony Award-winning choreographer, Christopher Wheeldon. Three works, One stage. Morphoses is a complex, athletic ballet for four dancers. Each couple presents a pas de deux requiring both flexibility and lyricism. The choreography then returns them to their opening formation as a united, breathing organism. Music by György Ligeti. Ghosts presents a realm where ethereal beings manifest in a shadowy playground. As passengers onboard a doomed ship at sea, the dancers express emotions through their movements, contrasting feelings of hope with those of longing, as they realize their journey is now a quite different one. Music by C.F. Kip Winger Foolâs Paradise suggests the atmosphere of an enchanted forest as in William Shakespeareâs A Midsummer Nightâs Dream. Wheeldon notes, âThereâs a definite sense of place, a definite atmosphere, a kind of magical aura that hangs over the stage.â Music by Joby Talbot. Get tickets at LOSANGELESBALLET.ORG/WHEELDON. |
