West Australian Ballet and the Australian Embassy Jakarta, in partnership with Ballet.id present…
ONCE
A once in a lifetime gala performance with excerpts from timeless classics The Nutcracker and Cinderella.
A once in a lifetime opportunity for the Indonesian Youth Ensemble to perform in this gala evening
and for Indonesian Stage Apprentices to be part of the backstage crew.
It happens once. Don’t miss it.
West Australian Ballet presents Once. With a limited number of shows, production that encompasses the contemporary through to the classical. Traditional ballet lovers will be spellbound by Jayne Smeulders ball scene from Cinderella, amazed by the fluidity of La Pluie and enthralled with the skill and technique of the West Australian Ballet dancers.
Once will also include two pieces performed by Indonesian Youth Ensembles and the world premiere of a new creation, Megatruh, by choreographer Melanie Lane and performed by Juliet Burnett. A meditation on identity and culture through the questioning body, mind and spirit, reflecting W.S. Rendra’s writing in his collections of essays, Mempertimbangkan Tradisi (Considering Tradition). Megatruh is the manifestation of these ideas.
