Artiste: Stijn Celis

To reassure the sceptics, the break from tradition of Stijn Celis’ Your Passion is Pure Joy to Me, and Sharon Eyal’s and Gai Behar’s Half Life made for a great start to the Staatsballett Berlin’s new season.

Dresden Semberoper Ballett came across as a troupe of seasoned and versatile performers who move with fluidity in diverse repertory.

A highly visceral experience: Ballet BC opens its new season with three works by Cayetano Soto, Stijn Celis and Crystal Pite.
