Ballet After Dark brings together three contemporary works exploring ballet beyond the traditional stage — from the saturated colours of Spectrum, through the strange nostalgia and playfulness of Mozart Variations, to an entirely new work driven by modern and 80s electronic music.

Spectrum
Music by Joby Talbot
A vivid, colour-driven work unfolding through three distinct scenes: Red, Purple and White. Each colour becomes its own atmosphere, allowing movement, emotion and musical texture to shift as the palette changes. 35 minutes

Intermission 20 minutes

Mozart Variations
Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
A playful and whimsical work inspired by the rituals of childhood — nursery rhymes, schoolyard games, repetition, competition and imagination. Classical technique meets a slightly mischievous world of memory and play. 12 minutes

Mixtape
Music by various electronic artists
A new contemporary creation set to modern and 80s electronic music, pushing the evening into a darker, more physical and distinctly after-hours direction. 21 minutes
