Silent Tides - Medhi Walerski (Studio Trailer, Ballet BC, 2022 | OVERTURE/S)

“Walerski surpasses himself as a choreographer with this gossamer play between delay and acceleration, stop and start, grab and miss”
– de Volkskrant

Following the success of just BEFORE right AFTER, the first new creation from Medhi Walerski as Ballet BC Artistic Director, comes the North American premiere of Silent Tides. Set to an original composition by Adrien Cronet as well as music by Bach, Silent Tides is an intimate work for two dancers that reflects our relationship to one another and to ourselves—the infinite gates where our bodies receive nourishment and otherness, vibration and energy. Touch, time, eternity, love, death, infinity, low tides, high tides.

Silent Tides had its North American premiere at OVERTURE/S, November 3-5, 2022 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.
