Northern Ballet: Three Short Ballets

Northern Ballet is taking over the Linbury Theatre for for four days this autumn. Doing what it says on the tin, Three Short Ballets features a triple bill that includes two revivals and the London premiere of a brand new work by the multitalented New York City Ballet choreographer and principal dancer Tiler Peck. In ‘5 Tangos’, the late Dutch choreographer Hans van Manen, known for his stripped-back and storyless ballets, combines the poise of ballet with the passion of tango. In ‘Fools’ the Olivier Award-winning Mthuthuzeli November reimagines RL Peteni’s novel ‘Hill of Fools’, fusing ballet, contemporary and traditional South African dance.
