A Dance Tribute to the Art of Football

Contemporary dance for football fans 

Since premiering in 1997, the world’s first football ballet has taken the world by storm! From 27 June to 20 July, you can see the ballet in a condensed, 30-minute version. 

The performance explores football as a phenomenon, with everything from physical routines and violence to sheer madness, aesthetics and humour. It also offers political commentary on the artificial conflict between sports and art and ridicules the pride and prejudices inherent to the notion of working-class football and upper-class ballet. The performance eradicates the boundaries between the two disciplines and highlights the shared entertainment value and diverse physical expression. 

A complete and utter success. I’d see it again in a heartbeat.
