UniVerse: A Dark Crystal Odyssey

Company: Studio Wayne McGregor and The Royal Ballet in association with The Jim Henson Company

Wayne McGregor’s UniVerse: A Dark Crystal Odyssey reimagines Jim Henson’s cult 1982 film The Dark Crystal—a darkly fantastical epic with mythological underpinnings and ecological overtones—as a potent tale for today in its depiction of an earth in peril, torn apart by extremes and in desperate need of healing.

Performed by the dancers of Company Wayne McGregor.
