National Ballet of Canada - Emergence / Silent Screen

The National Ballet of Canada presents a double bill featuring two distinct works: Crystal Pite's "Emergence" and Robert Binet's "Silent Screen." Pite's piece is known for its intricate, insect-inspired choreography exploring group dynamics, while Binet's work often blends classical ballet with contemporary themes, here drawing inspiration from silent film. This pairing offers a look at both powerful ensemble work and more narrative-driven contemporary ballet. This matinee performance on Saturday, November 14, 2026, takes place at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto. The venue is designed for grand theatrical productions, offering clear sightlines and excellent acoustics. It's a good choice for those interested in modern ballet and innovative choreography, as well as fans of the National Ballet's range.
