Since its 2017 premiere at the Palais Garnier by the Paris Opera Ballet, Alexander Ekman's "Play" has captivated audiences with its whimsical exploration of childhood games. Featuring a pool filled with green balls, suspended giant cubes, balloon games, and exhilarating chases, Ekman provocatively questions how adults engage with the innocence of their youth.
Set against a backdrop of imaginative scenes underscored by Mikael Karlsson’s jazzy music, Ekman's choreography playfully challenges the seriousness of adulthood. This ballet for forty dancers blends playful irreverence with transgressive energy, celebrating the revival of childhood joys in a manner that has garnered widespread acclaim and admiration.
