Summary
Scottish Ballet performs works by choreographers Crystal Pite and Julia Cheng, set to music by Owen Belton.
Why it's fantastic
Witness the strange beauty of the natural world through Crystal Pite’s obsession with the complex patterns of swarming insects. This double bill pairs that eerie, hive-mind energy with a fresh new creation by Julia Cheng, offering a visceral ninety-minute experience that feels more like a cinematic thriller than traditional dance.
