The ballet has been choreographed by Gerard Butler and features a large cast, including 90 children from various ballet schools in and around Cape Town, rotating throughout the season at different performances.
The ballet is inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. The production follows Alice as she tails White Rabbit into a fantastical realm filled with curious characters, unexpected adventures, and striking choreography.
