& Forgotten Land

Iconic works by two true legends of dance history.

The Dream, Sir Frederick Ashton’s sparkling interpretation of Shakespeare’s much loved A Midsummer’s Night Dream, arrives in Perth for the very first time. Paired with Jiři Kylián’s Forgotten Land, a masterpiece in such high demand across the world it has become the stuff of legend. Love, magic, and mild chaos: two worlds, one extraordinary season you simply will not find anywhere else in Australia.
