EDMONTON, AB — Ballet Edmonton, the city’s creation-based contemporary ballet company invites audiences into a daring evening of movement and sonic imagination with THRESHOLD, running Friday, February 13 to Sunday, February 15, 2026 at the Triffo Theatre in Allard Hall, MacEwan University.
THRESHOLD showcases two extraordinary international choreographers building new work on a Canadian company for the first time: Cyril Baldy and Marie Gyselbrecht. Each piece challenges both dancers and audiences, expanding definitions of physicality, presence, and what contemporary ballet and dance can be.
Baldy and Gyselbrecht’s creations explore unexpected limits of the body, new textures of movement, and fresh perceptions of dance through richly layered choreography. The evening is framed by an original sound design by Raphaëlle Latini and atmospheric lighting by James Proudfoot, making THRESHOLD an immersive experience of motion and mood.
“Threshold invites us to encounter the unfamiliar — both within ourselves and in each other,” says Artistic Director Kirsten Wicklund. “This program is a catalyst for risk and possibility, offering a powerful portal into the evolving language of contemporary dance.”
