About
A 3-disc box set showcasing acclaimed productions by The Royal Ballet’s resident choreographer Wayne McGregor.
In Chroma, Infra and Limen (2008), McGregor pursues his passion for exploring the inner workings of the human body and mind, his many-layered and beautiful dances providing visual, sensual and kinaesthetic stimulus for the viewer.
Woolf Works (2017), McGregor’s first full-length work for The Royal Ballet, recreates the synaesthetic collision of form and substance in the writings of Virginia Woolf. The three acts springs from Woolf’s novels Mrs Dalloway, Orlando and The Waves, enmeshed with elements from her letters, essays and diaries.
The Dante Project (2021) realizes Dante’s epic journey through the afterlife in The Divine Comedy, combining McGregor’s groundbreaking choreography with a virtuosic new score by Thomas Adès and designs by the renowned artist Tacita Dean. This world-premiere recording also marked the final production starring acclaimed dancer Edward Watson, after 27 years with the Company.
