Bovim Ballet, founded by Sean Bovim, has conquered a number of exciting stage productions including the smash hit, Queen at the Ballet, and now the ballet company will bring their newest show to the country for the first time.
Private Presley follows the incredible rise of one of rock ‘n roll’s greatest legends, portraying memorable and key moments from his jam-packed life.
Audiences can look forward to a kaleidoscope of timeless classics set to hip-swaying choreography that will leave you ‘all shook up’.
“After experiencing Johannesburg’s heartfelt and enthusiastic reaction to Queen at the Ballet, which we brought up to Johannesburg last year, we are excited, but also proud, that we will be performing Private Presley in the very same theatre – Joburg Theatre,” Bovim said.
“We thoroughly enjoyed performing on this beautiful stage with its world-class facilities and top-class crew, and can’t wait to return!”
As with previous productions, Bovim Ballet continues their working relationships with some of South Africa’s top fashion designers – a win for the ballet company and the South African fashion industry.
Ulrich Binedell’s intelligent and effective set design is complemented with moody lighting created by Faheem Bardien, all contributing toward a feast for the senses.
“Private Presley is a rock ‘n roll ballet that juggles full-speed, fun and energetic group dance numbers with intimate and heart-wrenching love duets. Not only did this era bring out the most explosive dance styles of the 20th century, but also gave us Presley’s inspirational and intuitive ballads which pull at the heart strings of all who loved the enigmatic Elvis and his pioneering music,” Bovim said.
Patrons can expect to leave the theatre with nostalgic memories and a smile on their faces after having been thoroughly entertained by Bovim Ballet from 9 to 25 October at Joburg Theatre.
