Ballet Philippines casts a festive spell this holiday season. The company launches its spectacular new Alice in Wonderland production. This reimagined classic anchors their acclaimed 56th Season Christmas celebrations. Audiences journey down the rabbit hole starting December 5th at The Theatre at Solaire.
Artistic Director Mikhail Martynyuk choreographed this original vision. He blends breathtaking dance with playful theatricality. Technical precision meets comedic pantomime. The result is pure, family-friendly enchantment for all ages. Lewis Carroll’s timeless tale gets a vibrant new dance language.
Curious Alice chases the White Rabbit. She tumbles into a world where logic bends. Magical doors appear. Enchanted potions and cakes transform her. Talking flowers challenge her wit in dazzling garden scenes. Each adventure unfolds through inventive choreography.
The Mad Hatter’s tea party bursts with chaotic energy. Riddles fly alongside the March Hare and Dormouse. The wise Caterpillar guides Alice inward. Then comes the Queen of Hearts’ terrifying court. Flamingos swing as croquet mallets. Hedgehogs become balls. Justice feels unpredictable. Alice bravely shouts “Stop!” shattering the dream’s spell.
Martynyuk’s vision makes this production unique. He masterfully combines demanding dance sequences with expressive plastic comedy. This heightens the theatrical energy significantly. Movement tells the story beyond words. Humor, absurdity, and heart fill every scene.
“It celebrates imagination, courage, and discovery,” shares Kathleen Liechtenstein, BP President. The production spotlights Filipino talent globally. Collaboration with artists like Martynyuk creates inspiring excellence. It’s a uniquely Filipino expression of creativity.
Martynyuk sees Alice as exploring ballet’s limitless creativity. “We invite audiences to feel Wonderland,” he explains. The journey changes Alice. She awakens with newfound courage and belief in imagination’s power.
This Alice in Wonderland is a cornerstone of Ballet Philippines’ 56th Season. It promises creativity, storytelling, and dance’s enduring magic. Don’t miss this visually spectacular, emotionally captivating experience.
