DanceHouse presents Alexander Ekman’s Play at DanceHouse presents Alexander Ekman’s Play

DanceHouse, in partnership with Digidance, kicks off its third season with the Canadian premiere of acclaimed Swedish choreographer Alexander Ekman’s Play, streaming Nov. 7–27, 2022. Originally created for the Paris Opera Ballet in 2017, Play transforms the historic Palais Garnier into a vast playground for 36 dancers who are encouraged to improvise with the sets and its elements. Bodies frolic in rainfalls of green plastic balls, leap with antlered forms, and come together in playful games amongst metallic structures. The choreography is backed by a musical score from long-time collaborator Mikael Karlsson, a Swedish composer who has also worked with well-known singers such as Alicia Keys and Lykke Li.
