Ballet BC Vancouver x3

Vancouver x3 is a triple bill of contemporary ballets that showcases Ballet BC's bold physicality and diverse choreographic voices. The program opens with Silent Tides, a duet exploring human connection and intimacy born from social distancing, set to Bach and original score. Heart Drive follows with raw intensity, confronting bodily limits and taboos through the primal language of desire and pleasure. The program culminates in PASSING, an expansive and emotionally sweeping work inspired by climate crisis and the volcanic eruption in La Palma. This monumental piece traces the arc of human experience—from intimate relationships to societal collapse—as dancers grapple with internal darkness made visible. Featuring sequences evoking medieval dancing mania and a haunting finale where performers seek connection as snow falls, PASSING meditates on fragility, family erosion, and the possibility of renewal amid catastrophe.
