In this reimagined version, six performers in fiber-optic costumes animate the beloved story with bursts of color and motion, transforming the stage into a glowing dreamscape. With inventive use of props and expressive choreography, the show captures key moments—from daring pirate duels to tender encounters—while illuminating the fantastical world of Neverland in a wholly new way.
Peter Pan told through light, music, and dance
From Swan Lake to The Nutcracker, many iconic ballets bring fantastical stories to life, and J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan is no exception. Since its debut in 1904, the tale of adventure and imagination has captivated audiences, inspiring countless adaptations. Barrie’s message that “dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough” is beautifully captured in Ballet of Lights Peter Pan.
This performance combines classical music, elegant choreography, and innovative fibre-optic costumes that light up with the characters’ emotions. Set to pieces like Mendelssohn’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and Brahms’ ‘Hungarian Dance No. 5’, the story of childhood’s end and the power of imagination comes alive on stage.
