breathtaking modern ballet

Leading choreographer David Dawson's Anima Animus comes to Toronto having captivated audiences across North America and the UK since it's debut in 2018 in San Francisco. A breathtaking display of modern ballet, the piece is a mesmerizing exploration of psychiatrist Carl Jung's famous defining of the human collective unconscious as Anima and Animus, set to Violin Concerto No. 1 by Ezio Bosso.

The movements of the ballet muse on ideas of contradictions and variation, with the cast in expressive costume designed by Yumiko Takeshima. The evening will also showcase a new work by Rena Butler before Dawson's stunning finale.
