Faster (The Australian Ballet) ★★★1/2

by
ABR Arts 20 March 2017

The Australian Ballet opened its first 2017 Melbourne season looking like a new creature – mature, chic, and serious, ready to tackle any challenges choreographers placed in its path.

Squander and Glory, a dramatic world première for The Australian Ballet by alumnus and resident choreographer Timothy Harbour, provides the centrepiece of Faster. Two British works book-end the program: Faster (from the Olympic slogan ‘Faster, Higher, Stronger’) by David Bintley, artistic director of Birmingham Royal Ballet; and Infra, by Wayne McGregor, a resident choreographer at the Royal Ballet in London.
