Inspired by the original Adolphe Adam score, Montreal-based Navas creates a riveting world that comments on the story's universal themes of love, heartbreak and revenge that continue to resonate today. This innovative reworking of the full-length classic is a collaboration between Montreal set designer Lino, lighting designer Marc Parent, Vancouver costume designer Linda Chow and the Arts Umbrella Graduate Dance Program. "As in some theatre productions, there will be a stage within the stage and the audience will see the performers undergoing the transformation from ordinary person on the outer stage, to the character in the ballet, moving to the inner stage...the audience's experience of the dance is rendered more, not less, intense by seeing an ordinary human being in between the periods of dance." José Navas..
