In brief

As a culmination of his project to explore the musical fabric of James Blake, which began in 2016, William Forsythe has destined the first full version of this work for La Scala Ballet in 2023: a new and unprecedented evening- featuring the very newest Forsythe creations as a suite of ballets built to music by the vibrant British composer. Now returning to La Scala, under the definitive title The Blake Works, are William Forsythe’s choreographic architectures of Prologue, The Barre Project and Blake Works I.
