"The gem is Yugen, created in 2018 as part of the Leonard Bernstein centenary celebrations. Either side of it comes Untitled, 2023 and McGregor's brand new Quantum Souls."
"Quantum Souls had its world premiere on the opening night of this run. Its complex stage design required an extra long interval to allow for installation."
"The piece is performed to Bushra El-Turk's Ka for percussion and string orchestra. The strings offer a discreet bed of extended notes upon which on-stage percussionist extraordinaire Beibei Wang has freedom to improvise."
Alchemies, a triple bill by The Royal Ballet, features Wayne McGregor's choreography. It includes Yugen, a celebrated piece from 2018, flanked by Untitled and Quantum Souls. Quantum Souls premiered on opening night, showcasing a complex stage design and vibrant costumes. The performance is set to Bushra El-Turk's music, with a unique approach where the percussionist improvises based on the dancers' movements. The entire presentation highlights McGregor's ability to collaborate with artists, creating a visually and aurally stunning experience for the audience.
