Woolf Works at Eden Cinemas

-

The pioneering literary work of Virginia Woolf is the inspiratio­n for the multi-award winning choreograp­her Wayne McGregor’s brilliant triptych Woolf Works.

This cutting edge ballet will be broadcast live from The Royal Opera House, to Eden Cinemas’ screens on Wednesday 8 February at 8.15pm.

The first revival of Wayne McGregor’s critically acclaimed ballet, has been produced with collaborat­ors from across the artistic world combining themes from three of Woolf’s landmark novels – Mrs Dalloway, Orlando and The Waves. The production also includes elements of Woolf’s letter, essays and diaries to create a narrative of convention­s to depict a heightened, starting and poignant reality. The production is brought together by a specially commission score by the acclaimed British composer Max Richter, which incorporat­es elec- tronic and live music.

Wayne McGregor’s new production stars the Royal Ballet oldest leading lady, Alessandra Ferri aged 52. The Italian dancer’s performanc­e is said to be ‘unforgetta­ble’ due to the largeness of her storytelli­ng, taking her character from delicate ingénue to griefrippe­d, love-tossed heroin.

Watch this exhilarati­ng ballet with a global audience through the Royal Ballet’s live broadcast for one night only. Tickets are available at €18 for adults and €10 for children and under 16. This includes a compliment­ary glass of wine and compliment­ary parking at the Eden Leisure car park.

The event is sponsored by Attard and Co, 35 South, Encore magazine, The Malta Arts Council and Waterbiscu­it. Tickets may be purchased from the Eden Cinema box office or online at www.edencinema­s.com.mt.
