Sylphes by Sylphes Aerial Ballet
Sylphes is making its Catalonia debut to open Dansa Metropolitana 2025. This spectacular aerial performance set over 35 metres above the ground, will bring the audience along on a thrilling visual experience that fuses aerial ballet with the theme of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. A combination of dance and music at the heart of this year’s festival, with the Vibracions project taking centre stage.
Sylphes Aerial Ballet is a creative space for artists from various fields —producers, designers, engineers, and technicians— who have spent years developing a unique language of their own. They offer a distinctive aesthetic within the performing arts world, and have been hailed as captivating and mesmerising establishing a magical bond between the audience, dance and music.
The skies of Cornellà will be filled with fascinating and hypnotic figures that evoke the elegance of classical ballet. Let’s challenge the limits of what is impossible to kick off a new edition of Dansa Metropolitana!
