Sum of All Parts
World Premiere May 3, 2019, Edmonton, AB
This stunning new piece by Gioconda Barbuto explores the physical dialogue that develops in a collective atmosphere. This work reflects how we shape, shift, mold and encompass space. The audience will be immersed in a physical conversation; a manifestation of orchestral movement and honest intent.
Choreographer: Gioconda Barbuto
Le Quattro
Set to Max Richters’s Recomposition of Vivaldi – The Four Seasons, Le Quattro is a musical homage to the seasons. From the serene beauty of a frostbitten winter to the awakening of spring, Wen Wei Wang’s Le Quattro is a stunning visual reckoning.
“Behold, my friends, the spring has come. The earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun; and we shall soon see the results of their love!”
– Sitting Bull
Choreographer: Wen Wei Wang
