This Sunday at 5:00 p.m., the Teatro Colón bids a grand farewell to one of its most ambitious productions of the year with an unmissable event for culture lovers: the live and completely free broadcast of the grand finale of *Principio de éxtasis*. If you’re looking for plans for this weekend, no matter where you are, this is a unique opportunity to enjoy the best ballet in Buenos Aires live on your screen.
“Principio de éxtasis”: Why No One Wants to Miss This Landmark Ballet at the Teatro Colón
This grand production by the Teatro Colón’s Permanent Ballet —under the artistic direction of thelegendary Julio Bocca—brings Jorge Luis Borges’ literary universe to the stage. Taking *The Aleph* as its starting point, the work unfolds a labyrinth of mirrors, pure movement, and more than 50 dancers on stage to shape a unique visual and poetic experience.
The talent of the Colón’s dancers is complemented by an incredible ensemble of artists. The direction and choreography are by Spanish maestro Goyo Montero, the original music was composed by Oscar winner Gustavo Santaolalla, and Ricardo Darín’s voice-over brings Borges’s texts to life throughout the entire production.
A stellar cast that’s bidding a final farewell to the stage this weekend—and you’ll be able to enjoy it without paying for a ticket, from anywhere.
