Dance Series Two
May 6-June 11, 2016

In addition to the premiere of Oasis, Smuin Ballet celebrates the return of two fabulous works: Jiří Kylián’s lyrical masterpiece Return to a Strange Land, a poignant reflection on the strange land we enter when we pass from this world, and Val Caniparoli’s Tutto Eccetto il Lavandino (everything but the kitchen sink), a dynamic and modern work that moves from classical to contemporary ballet to theatricality set to the music of Vivaldi.
