Ballet Revolucion - Brisbane August 10, 2011

This is a unique opportunity to see some of the world’s most talented classical and contemporary
dancers from the elite companies in Cuba perform way beyond their normal repertoires.
Throughout the show, the performers demonstrate their phenomenal versatility, combining styles
as diverse as classical ballet and hip hop. Ballet Revolución is a powerful blend of styles and
genres set against a blend of sounds meshed with Cuban classics, modern Latin American and
R&B hits by artists such as Enrique Iglesias, Shakira, Santana, Ricky Martin, Usher, Chris Brown,
Beyonce and many more.
It’s an Evolution of Ballet as much as a Revolution.
Ballet Revolución's choreography is a force of nature combining the styles of three choreographers to create an
entire new work. In a time of dance where apathy is the flavour of the day, Ballet Revolución’s choreography is
unapologetic in its visceral assault on the audience. Ballet Revolución will shake Cuban dance to its African, Spanish
and Russian core.
The dancers are musically soulful. Reeking of sensuality, which is a result of their African, Spanish and indigenous
ancestry mixed with supreme technique due to years of Russian involvement in Cuba. These entire elements
combine to make an explosive full‐blooded engaging night at the Theatre.
Ballet Revolución is Ballet with attitude.
