Divenire is a striking presentation of precision and impressive athleticism featuring works created by Director Simon Hoy together with dance-maker Tim Podesta – also with international credentials. This work has already toured successfully within Australia. While the beauty of classical ballet and related works is driven by a narrative or message, this program sets out to push the boundaries of the genre further, and also to show some of the great strength and versatility that Melbourne Ballet Company has become known for. It also sets out to offer something for everyone and we are especially happy to be able to present such a potentially outstanding season in our forthcoming touring schedule. It tries to encapsulate as much as possible of the beauty, athleticism and passion of contemporary ballet with strong classical technique, underpinned by a sparkling selection of musical masterpieces – all making for a truly uplifting experience.
