World Premiere

Two of the world's most in-demand choreographers bring an exciting new chapter for The National Ballet of Canada, with a world premiere of Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber's Procession! Both building international reputations for their physically daring works, Smith and Schraiber's collaboration is a big moment for the ballet world.

Blending contemporary choreography with a Baroque-inspired score, Procession examines the timeless ritual of collective movement; how people come together to celebrate, mourn and transform in processions. The work is set to be a visceral portrait of what it means to move together.
