Experience the energy of English National Ballet, as the acclaimed company comes to Azerbaijan for the first time with bold, boundary-pushing works by two masters: Crystal Pite and William Forsythe.

Crystal Pite's Body and Soul (Part 1) explores themes of conflict and connectedness.
Dancers morph from intimate duets to surging crowds, weaving precision and fluidity into mesmerising waves of movement.
"Crystal Pite's group formations take my breath away... it's stunning and the company dazzles" (The Sunday Mirror)

William Forsythe has been pushing ballet to its limits for decades - and continues to do so. His piece Playlist (EP) combines ballet classicism and athleticism with an unexpected soundtrack of pop, r'n'b and house - including Barry White and Natalie Cole.

The result? Pure joy!
