Celebrating with Savannah Ireland, Monike Cristina and Claudia Monja Guedes - the three talented ladies gracing the billboard for our next season. Have you seen it on the motorway in the City of Joburg...?

The season in July, entitled EVOLVE, brings together four works in a mix that proved very popular in April: three new works created especially for Joburg Ballet and a glittering showpiece from the classical repertoire.

The new works include The Afterlife: Souls, a reflective, introspective piece by principal dancer Shannon Glover; The Game by Mario Gaglione inspired by chess, the game of kings; and Legae, an evocative dance piece about returning home after a long absence by Tumi Lekana.

The programme’s classical ballet is the Grand Pas from Paquita, classicism in the grand manner providing a showcase for ballerina, partner, soloists and corps de ballet. Choreographed in the 19th century by the great Marius Petipa, creator of The Sleeping Beauty and many other classics, Paquita is being produced for Joburg Ballet by company soloist Ivan Domiciano.

Bookings are open so contact Edgar Moagi on 011-877-6898 or e-mail [email protected]; the Joburg Theatre on 0861-670-670 or visit Webtickets.
