Directed by South Africa's most prolific choreographers, such as Veronica Paeper and Erica Brumage, the production comprises several vignettes representing different styles, performed to the music of Vivaldi, Chopin, Brahms and Strauss. Taking inspiration from some of the greatest poetry classics, such as I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth and The Tiger by William Blake.
Commenting on the highly anticipated launch of Poetry in Motion, Veronica Paeper said: “This production promises to be a feast for both the eyes and ears. Guests can look forward to seeing top local dancers, such as Megan Swart, Angela Hansford and Xola Pute perform.” She added: “Cape Town City Ballet may need to close its doors due to lack of financial support and we therefore really encourage Capetonians to support local ballet by attending this unique production.”
