Ballet in three acts (2015)

Virginia Woolf defied literary conventions to depict rich inner worlds – her heightened, startling and poignant reality.

Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor leads a luminous artistic team to evoke Woolf’s signature stream of consciousness writing style in this immense work that rejects traditional narrative structures, set to an original score by Max Richter.

A collage of themes from Mrs Dalloway, Orlando, The Waves and Woolf’s other writings, this Olivier-award winning ballet triptych captures the heart of her uniquely artistic spirit.

Patrons please note: Online sales for this production are not presently available for sessions at Palace Cinemas (VIC, NSW, ACT, QLD, WA), however, advance tickets for these venues can now be purchased in persona at the box office. In TAS, this production is yet to go on sale but will screen at State Cinema Hobart at the regular screening times of 11am Sat and 1pm Wed.
