Cinderella

Inspired by both the Brothers Grimm’s tale and Charles Perrault’s version, and carried by Prokofiev’s radiant score, choreographer Jayne Smeulders has created a ballet of remarkable poetry, where magic, humour, and emotion intertwine.

Between a cruel stepmother and two jealous stepsisters, Cinderella grows up in the shadows, condemned to menial tasks and silent dreams. Yet, at the heart of this faded existence, a glimmer of hope endures, along with the longing for a different destiny. The day her fairy godmother appears, Cinderella’s life is turned upside down, and the young girl is swept into a world where anything is possible.

In a shimmering visual world of enchanted sets and sparkling costumes, Cinderella unfolds in a luminous and generous dance, taking performers and audiences of all ages on a timeless journey.
