The world’s most revered dance productions and artists take centrestage at Esplanade Theatre. Catch international ballet superstar Carlos Acosta as he brings his Cuban dance company Acosta Danza to Singapore for the first time on October 10 and 11. Celebrated UK choreographer Hofesh Shechter’s Grand Finale on Oct 18 and 19 is spectacularly bold, full of anarchic energy and cinematic atmosphere. The production’s many accolades include a nomination for an Olivier Award.
For intimate and thought-provoking works, Eisa Jocson hijacks Disney’s Snow White to reveal deeper layers to the beloved character, while Raimund Hoghe challenges notions of beauty in Pas de Deux. Finally, don’t miss award-winning street crews from USA, Japan and Taiwan, who go FULL OUT! in a celebration of street dance.
