An explosion of contemporary ballet, visual art and electronic music from world-leading artists at the peak of their powers, Tree of Codes will unseat everything you thought you knew about performance.
Choreographer Wayne McGregor joins forces with visual artist Olafur Eliasson and music sensation Jamie xx to produce a new type of modern dance—layering classical and contemporary styles onto the bodies of dancers from the Paris Opera Ballet alongside Company Wayne McGregor, two of the greatest ballet and contemporary dance companies on the planet.
The union of this dazzling array of art-makers has resulted in a stage event of astonishing reach that captures the spirit of its age like no other. Don’t miss the only Australian opportunity to see it in its original form: one that has sold out around the world.
