Award-winning choreographer Loughlan Prior fuses dance with music in his adaptation of Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night). Based on the mystical poem by Richard Dehmel, it is a celebration of new life (both literally and figuratively), the duality of conflict and resolution, and ultimately the reconciliation of one with the universe. Coupled with Dvořák’s gorgeously Slavonic String Sextet, this night of intensity, intimacy and spiritual metamorphosis is given life by BalletCollective Aotearoa and the New Zealand String Quartet in a striking theatrical journey of courage, strength, and human warmth.
