Last Breath ~ A World Premiere by Wen Wei Wang
When a master returns home, magic happens. Renowned choreographer Wen Wei Wang—a true national treasure and former artistic director of Ballet Edmonton—is creating an intimate new work for Belle Spirale, exploring the profound spaces between bodies, breath, and choice.
Produced in collaboration with Wang’s company Wen Wei Dance, this deeply personal commission celebrates his long-time artistic relationship with our directors Alexis and Sylvain.

Working with dancers Alexis Fletcher and Justin Rapaport, Wang explores the intimate geography of human connection. Joined by mezzo-soprano Emma Parkinson, they investigate the delicate textures of human connection—how we touch, how we breathe together, and how we navigate the weight of final moments. In Wang's hands, the interplay of dance and voice becomes a meditation on presence, distance, and the choices we make when everything hangs in the balance.
It's a rare opportunity to witness one of Canada's most celebrated choreographers in dialogue with seasoned performers, complete with the wonder of live music.
