Chilliwack —Experience the magic of Anne of Green Gables at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. On February 14, join Canada’s own Ballet Jörgen as they transport you to early 20th century Atlantic Canada with a ballet performance based on the beloved Canadian novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Following the adventures of Anne Shirley, an orphan girl accidentally sent to live on a farm in the fictional town of Avonlea, Anne of Green Gables is a story driven by her imagination. Anne takes much joy in life and adapts quickly to her situation, thriving in the close-knit farming village. Her imagination and talkativeness soon brighten the lives of those around her.
Anne of Green Gables is a little different from a classical ballet, in that it follows characters that are fairly young, which leads to movements that are a lot more energetic and explosive. It makes for a unique and exciting ballet that you will only ever witness coming from the hands of Ballet Jörgen’s choreographer Bengt Jörgen.
Follow Anne Shirley on her imaginative adventures, from her arrival at Green Gables to her endearing friendships and the many misadventures that define her spirited personality.
Immerse yourself in the period charm with exquisite costumes and charming choreography that transport you to the idyllic world of Anne’s imagination! This story of one girl’s journey is famous across the world, and is a wonderfully warm adventure to experience with your loved one this Valentine’s Day!
