Consider it a "three-peat" as the PuSh Festival and Ballet BC present Encore at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre Jan. 24 to 26, featuring three audience favourites from the 2010 and 2011 dance seasons. Performances include choreographer William Forsythe's Herman Schmerman set to music by Dutch composer Thom Willems, Finnish choreographer Jorma Elo's 1st Flash and Medhi Walerski's "powerful and poetic" Petite C‚r‚monie, described as a full-company piece inspired by the idea of "life in a box."
