The Planets: Gods of the Cosmos
The Planets: Gods of the Cosmos
Composed by Gustav Holst
Choreographed by Marc Holland
April 9-11, 2027
Robert F. Panara Theatre, NTID
Composer Gustav Holst’s celebrated suite The Planets consists of seven evocative pieces, each inspired by the unique character, personality, and purpose of a planet within our solar system. This work has captivated audiences through music. We will reimagine it through the art of dance in the form of a full-length contemporary ballet.
This ballet will explore the universe as a living, breathing entity, with dancers embodying stars, planets, and celestial forces. The choreography will highlight the endless rotation and interconnectedness of life in the cosmos, creating a dynamic vision of movement that mirrors the harmony and tension of the universe itself.
