A revolutionary force in ballet, William Forsythe has spent decades pushing the art form to thrilling new heights. The Forsythe Programme at Sadler’s Wells is a dazzling triple bill that showcases his boundary-breaking choreography in all its explosive glory. The evening features Playlist (EP), a euphoric fusion of ballet and contemporary beats set to the music of Barry White and Khalid, where classical dancers move with the groove of a nightclub. Herman Schmerman (Quintet) is a masterclass in deconstruction, with jagged, unpredictable movement set to an eerie, electronic score by Thom Willems. Adding to the excitement, a world premiere—created exclusively for English National Ballet—promises to surprise and mesmerize in ways only Forsythe can. Featuring an all-star cast, including Erina Takahashi, Francesco Gabriele Frola, and Isaac Hernández, this is ballet as you’ve never seen it before—electric, athletic, and utterly exhilarating. Whether you’re a seasoned dance lover or new to the genre, The Forsythe Programme is a must-see event that will leave you breathless.
