Sleeping Beauty, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens – October 10-26 LiveEvents October 8, 2013 4448 Created in 1996 for Hamburg Ballet, Sleeping Beauty tells the modern story of Princess Aurora, now a rebellious teen who has fallen victim to the prick of a heroin needle and a menacing drug dealer who has no intention of saving her. Lifted by the stirring sounds of Tchaikovsky and Mats Ek’s signature dark humour, audiences will dive into the many troubling and beautiful layers of the human psyche, exploring death, love, jealousy, revenge and happy endings with 30 dancers from Les Grands Ballets. Not recommended for children under 12 Performances take place at the Théâtre Maisonneuve. For tickets and information: www.laplacedesarts.com 514-842-2112 or 1-866-842-2112
