THREE SHORT BALLETS

About the show

Northern Ballet returns to the Linbury Theatre with a programme of fiery revivals including Hans van Manen’s 5 Tangos and Mthuthuzeli November’s Fools, and a brand new work by New York City Ballet’s choreographer Tiler Peck. In Hans van Manen’s smouldering 5 Tangos, the late Dutch choreographer combines the poised precision of ballet with the fireworks of tango to a sizzling soundscape of Astor Piazzolla’s music. Also featuring in this mixed programme is Mthuthuzeli November’s Fools. The Olivier Award-winning choreographer fuses ballet, contemporary and traditional dance in this captivativing reimagination of R.L. Peteni’s novel Hill of Fools. In this South African tale of star-crossed lovers, tensions rise and passions come to a boiling point. Alongside these revivals, Northern Ballet will present the London premiere of a brand new work by acclaimed New York City Ballet principal dancer and choreographer Tiler Peck.
