"Crystal Pite's unique ability to move masses of people on stage, while also creating close-up dances of deeply affecting human intimacy, makes her in great demand internationally."
"The ensemble sections, all those bodies so connected they move as one, create a powerful visual representation of unity and shared experience, blurring the distinctions between individual identities."
English National Ballet's 'Body & Soul' features two UK premieres by Crystal Pite and Kameron N. Saunders. Crystal Pite's work, originally created for Paris Opera Ballet, emphasizes human intimacy and connection through a stark monochrome palette and electronic score. The performance includes duets that explore both combative and emotional themes, culminating in a powerful ensemble that moves as one. The production highlights the blurred lines between gender through unisex costumes and the interplay of light and sound enhances the overall experience.
