Edwaard Liang's Wunderland


I enjoy watching ballet, but have never had the chance to go to a professional show. I stumbled across this ballet in The Washington Post online edition about a week or so ago. I wish I had seen this earlier as the show has already closed. Looking at the pictures and the video clips, I can tell that the show was a real breath-taker. I read the review written by Sarah Kaufman, a Post staff writer and she said it was not all that great from what I gathered from her article. The way these women were able to stand on pointe while squatting is astonishing in itself to me- such precision.
If anyone has seen this production or can even find where they are touring, let me know, I would love to see this or even get another perspective of the show.
I took the liberty of attaching some clips and links about this amazing production.
