Media Release | Ballet Edmonton presents Consentus

 
 

On the heels of a successful national tour, Ballet Edmonton closes its season with Consentus, May 5 & 6 at the Triffo Theatre in MacEwan University's Allard Hall

Consentus will feature two pieces by Ballet Edmonton’s Artistic Director, Wen Wei Wang, Le Loup de Lafontaine, and Le Quattro.

New commission Le Loup de Lafontaine will debut with the Victoria Symphony in Victoria, BC, on April 23 and 24, before opening in Edmonton. This new work features the music of Toronto composer Ian Cusson’s Le Loup de Lafontaine — a Suite for Orchestra in Three Scenes.

Set to Max Richter's digitized postmodernist recomposition of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, Le Quattro takes us through the changing seasons as Wen Wei Wang’s choreographic interpretation evokes images of nature, evolving weather, and the emotions they elicit.

Tickets for Consentus range from $20 - $40 and are available online at balletedmonton.ca. Performances begin at 7:30 PM at the Triffo Theatre in Allard Hall at MacEwan University (11110 104 Ave NW).
