New Constellations of Creation

Worlds are born and worlds collide in this double-bill of new work. Internationally celebrated choreographer Fernando Hernando Magadan (Ballet BC, NDT, BODYTRAFFIC) and Belle Spirale Directors Alexis Fletcher & Sylvain Senez (assemble, All my being is a dark verse, The Dance Deck) reach for questions of cosmic significance: Is connection to earth achievable on a chaotically changing planet? Will human resilience be enough for our uncertain future?

Brought to life by a company of eight powerful dancers, choreography, spoken word, and technical design interweave on an adventurous, interdisciplinary journey into purpose, creation, and our place among the stars.
