English National Ballet: Ecstasy and Death

English National Ballet performs three twentieth-century ballets: Jirí Kylián's ultra classy 'Petite Mort'; Roland Petit's 'Le Jeune Homme et la Mort', casting death as a hot seductress; and Harald Lander's 'Etudes', based on the simple beauty of a ballet dancer's daily class. Paris Opera Ballet's Nicholas Le Riche will guest star, dancing with ENB's artistic director Tamara Rojo in 'Le Jeune Homme et La Mort' on Thursday and Friday evening, and at Saturday's matinee.
