9 - T173818677Extraordinary Canadian dance company Cas Public, in collaboration with Belgian youth theatre Kopergietery, returns to the Royal Opera House with 9, which takes dancer Cai Glover's hearing impairment as an inspiration point. Through Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, choreographer H?l?ne Blackburn uses dance to question how we capture the monumental grandeur of this music if, like Beethoven, our hearing is impaired. 9 plays with music and silence and celebrates difference in a work for children and adults.Choreographer Helene Blackburn.

Suites Curieuses - T0131008594Inspired by Marjolaine Leray's popular minimalist picture book - which features a particularly savvy Red Riding Hood getting the better of a not very clever wolf - Cas Public's 25th anniversary production delivers the amazing productions values and stunning dance that we have grown to know and love from this brilliant Montreal-based company. This playful work choreographed by H?l?ne Blackburn cleverly combines dancers with projections, shadows, and a magical world where animation comes to life. | |

Gold - T336824105We're thrilled to welcome back this terrific Canadian company with their latest work for young audiences. Taking the inimitable Glen Gould recording of Goldberg Variations by Johan Sebastian Bach as their inspiration, Artistic Director H?l?ne Blackburn and collaborator Pierre Lecours have created a playful, funny and cleverly quirky dance piece. At times the dancers echo the syncopation in the music with percussive clapping and red bouncing balls; and red noses and tiny red chairs become the source of competitive fun. These are terrific dancers who perform with amazing energy against fabulous lighting design. A definite treat! Suitable for 4+ and their families. | |

Blue Beard - T01983106441Once upon a time, there was a castle with a heavily-bolted room where Blue Beard hid a terrible secret. He warned anyone who dared to open the door of dire consequences. Then his new bride discovers his secret... But don’t worry, it’s just a story! Using text, humour, melodrama and sumptuous dance sequences, Charles Perrault’s dark and classic fairy tale is given a contemporary feel in this new adaptation by Hélène Blackburn who brought us ‘If You Do Down to the Woods...’ in the 2005 festival | |
