Ballet of Lights Barcelona is a dance show that reinterprets classical ballet through illuminated costumes, transforming each choreography into a contemporary visual experience.
In this show, stories such as Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella are presented through classical choreography enhanced by lighting design that accompanies each scene. The lighting does not replace the ballet, but rather highlights it, marking changes in rhythm, emotions, and transitions within the story. A different way to experience two works from the classical repertoire through a more contemporary staging.
