Passing

In PASSING, legendary Swedish choreographer and longtime Ballet BC collaborator Johan Inger traverses a vast landscape of human emotion, taking audiences on an epic, theatrical, often touching ride. Commissioned by Ballet BC in the 2022/23 season and inspired by climate catastrophe, PASSING explores relationships, from the intimate to the societal. Set to an original score by Amos Ben-Tal as well as selections from Erik Enocksson and Louis T. Hardin (aka Moondog), the sonic journey is as beautifully complex and captivating as the movement language throughout.

PASSING offers a poignant exploration of the human experience, highlighting the beauty and fragility of human connection in a world characterized by constant movement and change. Through its choreography and thematic depth, the piece invites audiences to contemplate the fleeting nature of life and the profound impact of brief moments of connection with others.
