Whether it’s classical, contemporary or romantic style, ballet is a timeless art form that can enchant anyone with its beauty and discipline. With every delicate leap and graceful arabesque, skilled ballet dancers become living characters on stage, conveying emotions and narrating stories like few other mediums in the creative arts can. If you’re looking for an original ballet performance that blends the traditional elements of classical ballet that we all know and love with an innovative light display, then you should add the upcoming “We Call It Ballet” show in Buffalo to your evening plans.
Taking place at The Center’s Forbes Theatre, located in the Theatre District, this unique dance and light show is coming to Buffalo on selected dates over the coming months. Make sure to secure your spot now because there is limited availability.
What is “We Call It Ballet”?
This unique show celebrates ballet and how it’s changed over time. Combining music, choreography and a twinkling display of LED lights, it offers an innovative approach to the typical classical ballet performances we’ve grown accustomed to seeing. By adding these inventive elements, the experience is heightened and made more accessible to all audiences.
Ballet, its storytelling and the show
Ballet’s charm lies in the ability to tell a story and evoke a range of emotions through precise and delicate body movements. Yet, at “We Call It Ballet” in Buffalo, what makes the show even more special are the sensational ballerinas wearing glittering costumes that change color according to the mood of each scene, with each color symbolizing the distinct character emotions.
And even if you’ve never seen the Tchaikovsky ballet, with the help of this stunning light show and a narrator that briefly intervenes to explain the narrative, you can immerse yourself in the beloved fairy tale of The Sleeping Beauty with no worry.
From the creators of “We Call It Flamenco”, a fiery show that brings a slice of Andalusia to the Queen City, comes another innovative performance all about ballet.
“We Call It Ballet” is set to take place at Forbes Theater on selected dates over the coming months. On each evening the show starts at 6:00 pm and lasts about 60 minutes.
