The Australian Ballet and Gramilano are offering passes for five households to watch the live streaming of the dance work Kunstkamer, which features a comeback appearance by the company's new artistic director David Hallberg. It is one of the most ambitious contemporary dance productions to appear in the company's repertoire.
The work was created through a collaboration by four of the most celebrated choreographers working today – Sol León, Paul Lightfoot, Marco Goecke, and Crystal Pite. It was devised to celebrate the 60thy anniversary of the Nederlands Dans Theater in 2019. More details can be found here: gramilano.com/2022/05/david-hallberg-australian-ballet/
Kunstkamer streams live from Arts Centre Melbourne at 7:15pm (AEST) or 10:15am (BST – UK), 11:15am (CEST – Rome), 5:15am (EDT – New York) on Friday June 10 and will be available to stream for 48 hours from the start of the live-stream.
