A centuries-old tradition, the “Ghost Light” is a single lamp that illuminates the stage when the theatre is not in use. Legend says that the light shines to protect the actors, patrons and theatre from bad luck and ghosts. The Ghost Light features the solitary feeling that continues to shine on stages while waiting for audiences to return after this unusual season.
"Ghost Light is an ensemble ballet that I am developing in fragments. It is comparable to individual instrumental parts of a symphony ... how the individual parts ultimately combine into a work will depend on the moment when we are allowed to come close to each other again on stage." (John Neumeier)
