The Australian Ballet are opening their 2016 season with Vietesse, a triple bill of contemporary dance featuring works from Christopher Wheeldon, Jiří Kylián and William Forsythe.
Set to make it’s Australian premiere, Wheeldon’s DGV: Danse à Grande Vitesse with compositions from Michael Nyman is inspired by the disappearance and emergence of a train passing through a tunnel. Kylián’s Forgotten Land reflects on times past, drawing on the ebb and flow of the tides. Finally, Forsythe’s In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated makes its way to the stage after first being commissioned for the Paris Opera Ballet in 1987, prompting a meteoric rise to acclaim for both Forythe and the leading cast.
Vietesse will run from April 26 – May 16 at the Opera House. Tickets through The Australian Ballet.
