Win tickets to Ballet BC’s Program 1

      About Program 1: Ballet BC Resident Choreographer Cayetano Soto, a vibrant voice in contemporary ballet, launches the season with four works that display a unique range of creativity and originality. "Like a Pedro Almodovar film, Soto subverts beauty to convey something else."

      Beginning After: To launch the season, Soto has created a new work for the company that showcases his integrated vision as a choreographer, costume, and lighting designer in a work that will surprise and delight audiences.

      Fugaz: Originally created in 2007 for Ballet Theatre Munich, this work is inspired in part by the illness and death of Soto's father. This hauntingly beautiful work for six dancers is a tribute to the complexity of life conveyed through an intimate portrait of the female voice, set to a score of Armenian sacred songs of the 20th century.

      Sortijas: This dynamic duet with music by American born singer-songwriter Lhasa de Sela was made for Ballet Hispanico in 2013. The piece is a captivating conversation that comments on the circular ties of relationships that bind us together.

      Schachmatt: An astonishing architect of movement and space, Soto commands his audiences to dive into intriguing worlds of curiosity and discovery with his choreography. This world premiere will use as a starting point Conrazoncorazon, a critically acclaimed work created in 2015 for the Theaterhaus Stuttgart/Gauthier Dance Company. The work is described as a "madcap ensemble piece, full to the brim with virtuosity and surprise that rapidly moves through a vibrant and mercurial realm of the senses with joy and enchantment." Soto's explosive choice of music for this work was selected to stir the imagination and lift the spirit.
