“When Christine Cox approached me with this commission, she was keen for me to create a piece with a strong narrative. The book Siddhartha by Herman Hesse popped into my head - I felt that its interesting characters, beautiful imagery, and sense of movement could translate well to ballet."- Nicolo Fonte.

This evening is the premiere of “Sidd: A Hero’s Journey” @vilarpac. 💓
