Ballet in three acts (1994)

Encore Screenings! In a French-style garden, four modern Cupids set the pace for romantic conquests. People seek each other out, flirt, observe each other, desire each other, refuse each other, but pride eventually gives way, releasing passions that have been repressed for too long..

‘What is love today?’ asked Angelin Preljocaj in 1994, when he created Le Parc for the Paris Opera Ballet. Thirty years later, the world has changed again, but his ageless ballet has travelled around the world. Like the final pas de deux, where the bodies whirl around for a languorous kiss; a moment of grace that has become the signature of this ballet.

All sessions preceded by Australian Premiere Screenings of new short film:
Bartók by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra is an eight-minute art film by award-winning cinematographer Joe Shemesh. It pairs the orchestra’s enthralling performance of music by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók with evocative imagery from across Lutruwita / Tasmania. The film won a Silver Cinematography Award from the Australian Cinematographers Society in 2025. The orchestra’s Bartók album, curated and conducted by TSO Chief Conductor and Artistic Director Eivind Aadland, is available on streaming platforms.
