Corybantic Games

Wheeldon’s abstract Corybantic Games from 2018, which features an award-winning collaboration with leading fashion designer Erdem Moralioglu and is set to Leonard Bernstein’s Serenade after Plato’s ‘Symposium’. The dynamic choreography conjures up a world of antiquity that brings the pure athleticism of the dancers to the fore.
