Join us for a mesmerizing journey of "The Cave," a profound tale derived from Plato's ancient allegory.
About this Event

Choreographed by Julianna Rubio Slager, this ballet transports audiences into a society confined within the rocky walls of a cave, their existence limited to the shadows dancing before them. The Cave invites audiences to ponder the power of perception and the pursuit of truth.


Enter the ethereal realm of Julianna Rubio Slager’s latest masterpiece, "Celestia." Traverse the boundless expanse of the cosmos as we contemplate the enduring beauty, eternity, and transcendence of the stars. Rubio Slager brings us back to earth drawing parallels between the stars and our souls, each a unique and matchless creation. Ponder the infinite depths within and beyond in "Celestia."


World Premiere by Seyong Kim, "In this collaboration with Ballet 5:8, I aspire to achieve an artistic synergy that transcends cultural boundaries and emphasizes peaceful coexistence in our contemporary, globalized society. Through an interpretive lens grounded in Christian values, we shall fuse our distinct creative voices into a harmonious, profound, and holistic artistic expression.


Finally, this performance features the return of the Ballet 5:8 classic "The Space in Between" as the final performance of Lead Artist Lorianne Robertson. Drawing inspiration from The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis, "The Space in Between" explores the nature of eternity and the joy found on its shores. In Lewis’ work, Hell is not a place where a vengeful God tortures his victims, but a place “where the gates are locked from the inside.”
