In this stunning abstract ballet from the choreographic master, Christopher Wheeldon, Fool’s Paradise is a work suggesting an enchanted forest with elfin-like movement set to piano and strings. Wheeldon’s ethereal ballet creatively delivers with the beauty and simplicity of golden petals falling over the dancers in a sculptural tableau.
