Romantic Evolution/s

Romantic Evolution/s offers a ballet evening that blends tradition with fresh creativity. You’ll see La Sylphide, one of the oldest ballets, alongside a world premiere choreographed by Aleix Martínez, a first soloist.

The new piece, Äther, draws inspiration from the romantic spirit of La Sylphide, adding a modern layer to the experience. This combination invites you to reflect on timeless questions through movement and storytelling. Whether you’re familiar with ballet or new to it, the contrasting styles create a thoughtful rhythm that keeps you engaged. It’s a chance to appreciate how dance can explore complex ideas while offering moments of beauty and intrigue.
