With the National Arts Centre Orchestra Val Caniparoli, an American
choreographer known for his captivating work with the San Francisco
Ballet, was inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic horror
novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde , a story that
has fascinated him since childhood. The respectable Dr. Jekyll,
haunted by his split personality, works in his lab to try to separate
his good side from his evil one. Will his hidden impulses, brought to
life by his evil twin, the monstrous Mr. Hyde, gain the upper hand?
From the foggy streets of London to the horrors of an insane asylum
and the elegance of high society, the ballet grapples with themes of
duality, temptation and the endless struggle between good and evil.
The Royal Winnipeg Ballet puts the dancers’ dramatic intensity and
impeccable technique centre stage as they passionately bring the two
contradictory faces of Jekyll to life. With the spellbinding music of
Polish composers including Chopin, Penderecki, Górecki, Kilar and
Wieniawski, you’re sure to get goosebumps! Due to its mature
content, Jekyll & Hyde is rated PG13. Parental discretion is advised.
Jekyll & Hyde includes adult themes presented within the historical
context of when the novella was written (1886). Share Tweet Pin 0
