Ballet, its storytelling and the show
What distinguishes a great ballet production from a merely good one is the harmonious combination of a captivating narrative and a sensational dance performance. Using the universal language of movement, the narrative must be both clear and able to evoke emotion. This can only be done through well-executed choreography and other accompanying elements such as a voice-over narration and costume design that transform each ballet dancer’s graceful leap into a part of the unfolding story.
At ‘We call it Ballet’, these elements are seamlessly integrated, not only making the story easy to follow, but also creating an immersive experience. The glittering LED lights incorporated into the dancers’ costumes mesmerise the audience as each light changes to match the mood of the scene.
