In a groundbreaking performance, SF Ballet's 'Chroma' merges the raw energy of The White Stripes with modern choreography, pushing ballet's boundaries. Unlike traditional narratives in dance, 'Chroma' explores the absence of story, focusing instead on the emotional experience conveyed through movement. The performance is part of Cool Britannia, showcasing British choreographers deconstructing ballet's techniques. Moments of joy, chemistry, and unexpected queerness shine, marking a departure from conventional ballet aesthetics, ultimately transforming how audiences perceive this art form.
"Chroma isn't here to spin a tale. Modern dances give us something new to consider, but this one took a few beats to land."
"The kind of ballet that plays with shadow like it's a dance partner, bodies swallowed and revealed by stark walls of color."
"Sir Wayne McGregor's choreography stretched ballet's physical limits while riding the jagged rhythms of The White Stripes."
"What caught me most was the joy. The moment Nikisha Fogo broke into a smile, I found myself dancing too."
