Transcending traditional fairytale, delving further into the duality of light and darkness, we redefine what it means to awaken. Distilling the ballet’s core of innocence and enchantment, exploring inner evolution through a fusion of classical, neoclassical, and contemporary movement.Sleeping Beauty’s journey, no longer a passive slumber but a process, where light and darkness evolve, emphasises both external and internal awakenings. Capturing the essence of human experience through movement, exploring the complexity of emotion, the motivations behind our actions, and the power of change.
This progressive reimagining brings Maleficent into the classic story, not just as an external force, but as a mirror to internal conflicts. It challenges the traditional portrayal of good versus evil, exploring both destructive and regenerative forces, provoking the characters and audience to confront the shadows within.
Essence moves beyond tradition, where movement transcends form and focuses on intent. A gesture expresses longing, a sequence symbolises change, and stillness holds power. Stripping ballet to its core purpose: storytelling through movement, where every step, breath, and interaction speaks beyond words.
