Details

The Infinite Queen is the second work for SF Ballet by Edwaard Liang, a former dancer with New York City Ballet and Nederlands Dans Theater and artistic director at BalletMet since 2013. This is a ballet dealing with spirituality, life and death that is set to ?minimalist music with this baroque feel' commissioned from English composer Oliver Davis. Snowblind is British dance maker Cathy Marston's choreographic debut with SF Ballet. Inspired by Edith Wharton's tragic story of adultery, Ethan Frome, it reveals Marston at the pinnacle of her acute narrative powers and distinctive style. Bjork Balletis the second work for SF Ballet by Arthur Pita described as 'surprising, mysterious and a ridiculous amount of fun'*. Pita delves into the mischief and magic of this Icelandic icon's music in a 'cacophony of glamour, craziness and fairytal''*. (*Judith Mackrell in The Guardian)
