What is “We call it Ballet”?
We call it Ballet is a unique blend of the old and the new. It celebrates the globally recognised art form, by bringing a classic to ballet enthusiasts as well as new audiences. The show’s innovative approach adds a layer of magic, by incorporating gleaming LED lights into the dancers costumes. This way, every glide and every spin is heightened, making it more accessible to everyone.
Ballet, its storytelling and the show
Ballet has come a long way since its start during the 15th century. It has become more technical and precise and evolved into different styles, each expressing a distinct point of view. Yet, some ballets like The Sleeping Beauty remain timeless due to their unrivalled ability to convey emotions and tell a story through dance.
Similarly, We call it Ballet invites audiences to follow Princess Aurora’s story as a symbol of the fight between good and evil, at an exceptional performance that combines precise choreography, classical mime, timely narration and a light show.
Prepare to be dazzled by incredible classical performances and a moving light show at We call it Ballet in Perth. This breathtaking spectacle is taking place at the modern Octagon Theatre, a popular venue that much like the show bridges classical plays and performances with contemporary works.
This charming event is coming to the city on selected dates over the coming months and tickets are sold in seating categories, depending on the proximity to the stage.
