Hong Kong Ballet
ALICE (in wonderland)
with Virginia Symphony Orchestra

“The staging is ingenious, the score is evocative and accessible, and the choreography sparkles. Quite extraordinary--and fun!" 
-Asian Review of Books

“A tour de force…a pop-art dream, a feat of fevered imagination. The work is skillfully geared to children, although adult tastes are not ignored on the menu of visual splendor.” 
-The Washington Post

“An incredibly creative spectacle, pure and simple, repeatedly bringing the audience to delighted laughter.” 
-Washington City Paper 

Get ready for a wild ride down the rabbit hole! When choreographer and director Septime Webre joined the Hong Kong Ballet in 2017, after 17 years at The Washington Ballet, he brought with him a fierce energy, boundless imagination, and a pocketful of inspired ballets including his brilliantly conceived staging of Alice in Wonderland. Based on the Lewis Carroll classic, the ballet features eye-popping costumes by Liz Vandal of Cirque du Soleil, vivid stagecraft, and the phenomenal dancing of this internationally acclaimed ballet company. Look for a delightfully loony Mad Hatter, a villainous Red Queen, airborne antics of Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and all your favorite characters brought to vivacious life. You’ve never seen Alice like this before!
