Presented by the highly-acclaimed dance duo Pett|Clausen-Knight on April 26th and 27th, this event promises an evening of breathtaking artistry and profound storytelling that will captivate your senses and stir your emotions.
Having dazzled audiences across the globe, James Pett and Travis Clausen-Knight, formerly stars of Company Wayne McGregor, now bring their innovative talents to Ballet Nights' SPOTLIGHT series. Their latest creation, 'IMAGO', explores the intricate dynamics of relationships through a mesmerizing dance language paired with striking floral installations, crafting a vivid tableau of human interactions and emotional landscapes.
'IMAGO' delves into the essence of human connection and disconnection, presenting a narrative woven with the symbolism of flowers that resonates deep sentiments and philosophical reflections. The duo's choreography, praised for its strength and sensitivity, embodies a dialogue of movements that portrays the spectrum of companionship and the solitude of personal struggles.
The intimate setting of Lanterns Studio Theatre enhances this connection, drawing the audience into the very heart of the performance, where every expression and movement is palpably felt.
