The Wilmington Ballet presents AXIS
The Wilmington Ballet joyously returns to the historic Milton Theatre on Tuesday, April 16th with the premiere of AXIS: Centering the Self in Love and Life.
Experience an evening of profound and exhilarating contemporary ballet and modern dance that explores the deeply personal journey of self-discovery, finding your emotional core, and connecting it with the world around you. This powerful production features stunning new works from a diverse group of visionary choreographers: Kamani Abu, Miguel Quinones, Rachelle Rafailedes, and Benjamin Sterling Cannon.
Don't miss this compelling fusion of classical technique and modern narrative—a reflection on the essential balance between the self, love, and the trajectory of life.
AXIS is more than a performance; it's a moving meditation on what it means to be centered.
