Experience Scottish Ballet perform at The Joyce Theater March 10-15, 2020.

“Characterized by vibrant energy, brilliant coherence, and an effortless visual elegance” (The Daily Telegraph), Scotland’s national dance company returns to The Joyce with THIS IS MY BODY…, a double bill that showcases radically contrasting dance styles, equally compelling in emotional impact. Sophie Laplane’s Sibilo demonstrates a joyful, unrestricted perspective on everyday human emotions and situations. A U.S. premiere, Angelin Preljoçaj’s MC 14/22 (Ceci est mon corps) is a meeting of the spiritual and the carnal. Juxtaposing the glorification of strength and the condemnation of brutality, religious allusions collide in this raw and powerful work.
