Experience a captivating double bill from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet.
First, witness one of the company's most requested productions, Carmina Burana. This visually stunning and emotionally powerful ballet is a feast for the senses, featuring electrifying choreography by internationally acclaimed artist Mauricio Wainrot set to Carl Orff’s iconic cantata. It fuses bold, athletic movement with visceral storytelling, shifting seamlessly through moments of erratic intensity, tender romanticism, and unabashed sensuality. With sculptural lighting and costuming, and an ensemble moving as one powerful organism, Carmina Burana transcends performance to become a ritualistic experience.
Following this, discover T’əl: The Wild Man of the Woods, a bold new chapter in the RWB repertoire and a west-coast première. Choreographed by RWB School alumnus Cameron Fraser-Monroe, this production unfolds an Indigenous legend through the lens of a fully Indigenous creative team. Experience a compelling narrative told in both English and Ayajuthem by Elder Elsie Paul, centering on a courageous young woman’s quest to save her sister from the mysterious T’əl. The performance features an evocative original score by JUNO-nominated, Two-Spirit cellist and composer Cris Derksen, and stunning costume design by Navajo artist Asa Benally. T’əl is a powerful fusion of movement, music, and storytelling, celebrating the depth of oral traditions.
