Vividus, a dynamic triple bill featuring some of Canada’s finest choreographers. Vividus (Latin for “full of life”) is a bold and expressive program showcasing the breadth of Ballet Kelowna’s repertoire and the incredible versatility of its dancers. Known for pushing boundaries while maintaining emotional resonance, the company presents works by established and emerging Canadian choreographers, each exploring life in motion — from joy and intensity to contemplation and release. With stunning costumes, evocative lighting, and breathtaking choreography, Vividus offers an evening of artistic brilliance that celebrates what it means to be alive — through rhythm, form, and flow.

ayɛčot yɛχət  by Cameron Fraser-Monroe: payɛčot yɛχət (meaning “I always remember” in Ayajuthem, the language belonging to the Homalco, Klahoose, K’omoks, and Tla’amin First Nations). Featuring a poignant score by Indigenous cellist and composer Cris Derksen, Fraser-Monroe’s piece explores his intimate relationship to hoop dance, as one of his earliest dance influences and representations of his artistic identity. Premiered Feb. 14, 2025 in Kelowna

Vestiges by Alysa Pires: Pires’ latest work, Vestiges, is a striking commentary on the search for true connection and meaning amid disorder. Set to the cinematic melodies of violinist Hilary Hahn and composer Hauschka, this work will highlight the virtuosity of Pires’ bold and lively choreography. Premiered Feb. 14, 2025 in Kelowna

Le Carnaval des Animaux by Guillaume Cote: Guillaume Côté will bring his fresh, artistic vision to the stage with a jovial rendition of Camille Saint-Saëns’ Le Carnaval des Animaux, regarded as one of the French composer’s best-known works. Full of whimsical ornamentation, this highly anticipated world premiere will push the limits of contemporary ballet in Côté’s first-ever Ballet Kelowna commission. Following the success of Côté’s inimitable Bolero, which has toured extensively across Canada in many of Ballet Kelowna’s mixed programs, Le Carnaval des Animaux promises to delight audiences with its exuberant energy of frolicking and fun.
