Belle Spirale Dance Projects, in partnership with the Chutzpah! Festival, Vancouver International Dance Festival, and New Works Dance presents UNIVERSUS, a compelling double bill featuring two world premieres: Everything and Nothing, choreographed by Alexis Fletcher, Belle Spirale Artistic Director, and STATERA, choreographed by Fernando Hernando Magadan, internationally celebrated Spanish dancer and choreographer, on stage March 21 & 22, 2025 at 8pm at the Vancouver Playhouse. Brought to life by a talented ensemble of eight renowned dance artists (Ariana Barr, Juan Duarte, Alexis Fletcher, Marisa Gold, Will Jessup, Sophia Makarenko, Brenna Metzmeier, and Justin Rapaport), UNIVERSUS examines themes of time, extinction, and our uncertain future, while also celebrating humanity’s resilience and fortitude. Through dance-driven storytelling, stage design, spoken word, and projections, the evocative double bill showcases the transformative power of art, awakening the individual’s sense of purpose, agency, and hope.
