Sons of Echo
Developed over the course of a two-week residency at Orsolina28, “Sons of Echo” is a bold new program from international ballet star Daniil Simkin, a powerful mix of classical and contemporary dance that reveals the humanity behind ballet’s bravura.
The creation features Simkin and four principal male dancers at the height of their careers: Jeffrey Cirio (Boston Ballet), Osiel Gouneo (Bayerisches Staatsballett), Alban Landorf (Royal Danish Ballet), Siphesihle November (National Ballet of Canada).
This decorated cast explores identity, vulnerability, and strength through new and reimagined works by groundbreaking female choreographers including Lucinda Childs, Drew Jacoby, Tiler Peck and Anne Plamondon. Playful, poignant, and visually electrifying, “Sons of Echo” shatters expectations of the male dancer and reshapes ballet’s future.
