Marco Goecke
’s
Whiteout
. The work premiered at Les Ballets de Monte Carlo in 2008, and has since been performed by companies all around the world. This hauntingly bittersweet piece is the perfect introduction to the work of one of the giants of the dance industry and an incomparable artist.
The second half will bring back one of Ballet d’Jèrri’s first commissioned original works,
Deliberate Mistake
, a poetic reflection on Jersey’s history, identity, and collective memory. Co-created by resident choreographer
Asier Edeso Eguia
and artist
Yulia Makeyeva
, with an original score by Ilia Osokin, the work takes inspiration from Jersey’s knitting traditions—where deliberate flaws in knitted jumpers once helped identify lost sailors—transforming this idea into a deeply moving metaphor for community, fragility, and resilience.
This production is generously supported by Jersey Opera House.
