Triple Bill
Agon
This masterwork of modern ballet is a chronicle of movement styles, crystallised into one sparkling ballet. Agon is a detailed exploration of ritual, ceremony and the power of human dance – a mesmerising experience not to be missed.

Music Igor Stravinsky
Choreography George Balanchine

Stravinsky Violin Concerto
This fascinating ballet in four movements explores a tumultuous struggle between the sexes. Playful and disturbing in equal measure this is deeply affecting dance.

Music Igor Stravinsky
Choerography George Balanchine
Staged by Karin von Aroldingen

Symphony in Three Movements
Jazzy and intense, this large ensemble work is energetic, quick and surprising. Stravinsky was said to have been inspired by his impressions of World War II, but Balanchine’s complex choreography provides an intriguingly abstract narrative.
