About this Event

Gustavia

Director: Guillaume Klein

Choreographer: Pär Isberg

(France, 2025) 118 minutes

Live Performance Capture, Ballet

Based on a remarkable true story, Gustavia is a visually stunning performance capture of the Royal Swedish Opera’s production about Gustav Badin, an enslaved child brought to the Swedish royal court who grew into a dancer, diplomat, and Freemason. With commanding performances by Guillaume Diop and choreography by Pär Isberg, this sweeping production blends ballet, theater, and history to examine identity, power, and cultural erasure. Set to a rich score by Brahms, Bologne, and Beethoven, Gustavia resurrects a hidden figure of European history with elegance, fire, and depth.
