“Powerful choreography that explores and refines the human shadow in a thousand layers and mercilessly draws every spectator into a whirling artistic experience.”
Aftonbladet
“A mysterious shadow realm visualized through both the dramatic lighting and the insistent soundscape—with a powerful, sacred choir, whispers and echoes—and in the choreography itself.”
Svenska Dagbladet
“The flowing movements are magically beautiful. And evocative.”
Göteborgs-Posten
“The bodies beautifully strive together toward the light.”

About Frontier
From one of the most influential and beloved choreographers of our time, Crystal Pite’s global success Frontier here in a new, updated version that premiered with Ballet BC in Pite’s hometown of Vancouver in autumn 2024.
Frontier looks towards a dark and eerie universe. Solos, duets, and large ensemble scenes, visible and invisible, shifting like shadows in a borderland between what we know and the unknown. The darkness embraces and makes the impossible possible.
