Swan Lake and Giselle are nice and all, but it’s the avant-garde at the National
Ballet that gets our hearts a-flutter.
This month, we have two opportunities to get our dance on at the Four
Seasons Centre. Nijinsky, showing March 2-8, tells the story of
the great Russian dancer’s final performance in Switzerland in 1919,
imagining what he felt and thought while taking the stage for the last
time. And March 20-24 is a must-see show featuring two Canadian
choreographers: The Four Seasons, James Kudelka’s exposition of
the cycles of the year and of life; and Emergence, Crystal Pite’s
widely acclaimed exploration of humans as social beings.
New to the ballet? Arrive an hour before curtain time for a free talk on
the evening’s show.
