Internationally renowned choreographer Blanca Li and her dance company perform a decidedly contemporary, pared-down, light-footed version of Dido & Aeneas, based on Henry Purcell’s opera.

Blanca Li has choreographed many ballets and directed plays across the world. Besides her own (short) films, she is a household name in the film, fashion, and music industries thanks to collaborations with Pedro Almodóvar, Daft Punk, Beyoncé ea.

With this Dido and Aeneas, she has designed a choreographically and visually engaging performance, in which the performers fuse together into a unique, flowing whole. All within an abstract, changing scenery that seamlessly disappears into the graphic lighting design by Pascal Laajili. The music by Les Arts Florissants adds a dramatic, lively dimension to the luscious, ethereal choreography by Li. A must see!
