Alexander Ekman: Eskapist | Marquee TV

Internationally renowned choreographer Alexander Ekman brings a new piece to the Royal Swedish Ballet. Eskapist proves that the stage truly is a magic place, where the world as we know shifts shapes only to dissolve into the most poetic fantasy one could envision. Once more, Ekman has sought support from his long-term acolyte, Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson, whose entrancing music follows the wide range of styles mobilized by Ekman: sometimes downright comic and uplifting, and sometimes reflexive, deep, and ultimately cosmic.
