With the We call it Ballet dance show in Brussels, come and admire a symphony of movement, a visual poetry where every gesture tells a story. Ballet has been around since the 15th century and continues to delight audiences the world over, and for good reason. Ballet’ s sensuality and grace give us moments of suspension that match the stories it tells. In addition to the classical music that sets the pace, the dancers, like light feathers, soar and twirl, defying gravity with ethereal grace.
Discover this show in the theater of Espace Lumen, this sublime cultural center located near Place Flagey. And to make sure you don’t miss this incredible event, don’t delay in booking your tickets.
What is We call it Ballet?
This sublime show celebrates a dance that’s familiar to everyone, yet as unique as ever. This world-renowned artistic expression is much more than just dance, it combines intricate stagecraft with sublime music and tells timeless stories to its audience.
To pay homage to this art form, We call it Ballet offers you a show faithful to the ballet of Sleeping Beauty, but in a shortened version and with an added touch of modernity. Plunged into darkness, you can watch the dancers’ costumes light up, bringing their graceful movements to life.
The Ballet, its history and the show
In ballet, dance is a means of expression that tells a story. With We call it Ballet, we illustrate the story of Aurore, a princess who falls victim to a spell and is plunged into a deep sleep. If you’re already familiar with Sleeping Beauty, Charles Perrault ‘s tale later adapted into a ballet by Tchaikovsky, you can discover it in a new way in this luminous show.
The scores, revisited and adapted especially for the show, will set the pace for the dancers, giving you context and making sure you don’t lose track! Let yourself be guided by this visual spectacle and step into Aurore’s world.
We call it Ballet introduces you to a world that may seem elitist, but is accessible to all. Let yourself be seduced step by step by this luminous show, and enjoy a suspended moment without leaving Brussels.
