In a showcase for the genius of The Royal Ballet’s Resident Choreographer, this collection brings together some of Wayne McGregor’s most outstanding and internationally acclaimed works, comprising Chroma, Infra, Limen (recorded 2008), Woolf Works (2017) and The Dante Project (2021). Intimate yet universal, both light and dark, vigorous and lyrical, Chroma, Infra & Limen reveal McGregor’s passion for exploring the inner workings of the human body and mind. In Woolf Works, McGregor’s first full-length work for The Royal Ballet, the distinctive stream-of-consciousness writing of Virginia Woolf takes new form in a work of luminous beauty. Inspired by another celebrated literary figure, The Dante Project follows an epic journey through the afterlife, a monumental reinvention of Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy. McGregor’s gift for collaboration lies at the heart of his practice and is demonstrated here with an extraordinary team of trailblazing artistic minds, including Thomas Adès, Lucy Carter, Tacita Dean, Julian Opie, John Pawson, Max Richter and Kaija Saariaho.
