English National Ballet – She Persisted

Three iconic and bold works on and by women.

Broken Wings -Iconic painter Frida Kahlo is the heroine of Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s colourful ballet, full of warmth and passion. Based on her life and art.

Nora -Stina Quagebeur choreographs her first work for the main stage to the music of Phillip Glass. The ballet is inspired by the lead character in Ibsen’s ‘A Doll’s House’, a woman on the path to independence.

Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring)

Pina Bausch’s unforgettable production features 13 male and 13 female dancers on a stage covered in soil.

Dancing the selection and sacrifice of a terrified victim, it is as gut-wrenching and galvanising as Stravinsky’s score.
