The Mondavi Center’s long history with Ballet Preljocaj dates back to our 2002 opening season, when the company performed an astonishing The Rite of Spring. Its most recent visit brought the U.S. premiere of Blanche Neige, a wondrous retelling of the Snow White story.

In La Fresque, artistic director Angelin Preljocaj continues his exploration of fairy tales, plunging the audience into the fantastical world of Pu Songling’s “The Painted Wall.” The ideas of illusion, transcendence and the place of art in today’s society are omnipresent in this contemporary adaptation for 10 dancers.

The date and time of this performance has changed to Thursday, April 11.
