Catch a glimpse of what the world will see from our Philippine ballet dancers and Filipina International choreographer Eisa Jocson. Deconstructing ballet, and re-creating a new form of dancing with vocal expressions by the dancers. Soft then hard movements, smooth flow climaxing to tension. 
Manila-based choreographer Eisa Jocson has created "YOUR HIGHNESS"--- a dance piece with five young dancers of the Ballet Philippines where the classically trained dancers masterly alternate between stylized Disney gestures and standards of ballet classics like Giselle,The Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake –and explore the fine line between portrayals of happiness through ballet history and princess archetypes in a globalized entertainment industry.
The depiction of the story and message about the dancers, their dreams, and the exodus to another country is a combination of ballet grace, vocal sounds and unexpected dance disruptions. This new fusion of dance and sound in ballet is art in a curious, exploratory, jolting form. The silent storytelling of ballet is injected with vocal expressions that add to the mood and tension, a new way to watch a ballet. Breaking boundaries and creating new art in dance seem to be the goal of Eisa as she disregards the rules of ballet and make her dancers speak out their feelings and frustration.
Don't miss the world premiere of "Your Highness” on July 27 (8pm) and 28 (3pm, 8pm) at the CCP Little Theater, and will be performed at several major European performing arts festivals from August to September 2017.
