Ballet Philippines Stages Full-Length ‘Alice in Wonderland’ This December
Choreographed by Ballet Philippines Artistic Director Mikhail Martynyuk, this original adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland runs for one weekend only, from December 5 to 7, at The Theatre at Solaire.
The story follows Alice, a curious young girl who, upon chasing a mysterious White Rabbit, finds herself tumbling into the whimsical world of Wonderland. As she journeys deeper into this extraordinary place, she passes through magical doors, samples enchanted potions and cakes, and encounters gardens of talking flowers that test her wit and resolve.
For Martynyuk, Alice in Wonderland is more than a reinterpretation of a classic. “In Alice, I wanted to create a world where movement tells the story beyond words,” he says. “Through choreography, mime, and expression, we invite audiences to feel the humor, absurdity, and heart that make Wonderland so unforgettable.”
Alice in Wonderland will be performed five times: December 5 at 8 PM; December 6 at 2 PM and 7 PM; and December 7 at 2 PM and 7 PM. Dancers from the company will alternate in various roles across performances.
