And then, one thousand years of peace
Date	Location
Initially created in collaboration with the Bolshoi Theatre, And then, one thousand years of peace fuses two distinct styles of movement - the fast, driving power of Preljocaj's contemporary work with the grand classical ballet of the Bolshoi. Set to a pulsating soundtrack, the piece combines intricate edgy action with slow, graceful movement in an ever-evolving dance that reveals our innermost hopes, desires and fears.
