Ballet BC returns to the stage at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver March 16/17/18 with HORIZON/S, the second program of the 2022/23 season. Featuring the first Ballet BC commission from Vancouver-based Shay Kuebler, one of the city’s best-known contemporary dancers, choreographers, and educators, the program is also highlighted by an anticipated world premiere from Czech choreographer Jiří Pokorný, and Adi Salant’s WHICH/ONE, which premiered with Ballet BC in 2019 to rave reviews.
“It’s great to be back in Vancouver preparing to share three exciting works, including two world premieres, with our home audience,” says Medhi Walerski, Ballet BC Artistic Director. “It is fitting that the evening will include the company’s first commission from Shay Kuebler, an exciting voice from the local dance community who draws inspiration from a fascinating mix of movement forms. I’m also thrilled to present Czech talent Jiří Pokorný to our audience for the first time – known for his dream world creations, he is a fresh and sought-after voice in the world of dance. And I will always love the energizing, playful, and clever work of Adi Salant. If you have yet to see WHICH/ONE, I encourage you to take this chance.”
