Ballet by Mirko Mahr after Lewis Carroll’s »Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland« | Music by Edward Elgar, Jacques Offenbach and Igor Stravinsky

The Cheshire Cat. The Mad Hatter. Lewis Carroll’s tale of adventure is full of whimsical, fantastical creatures. And it all begins with the White Rabbit: Alice follows him down a rabbit hole, and arrives in a curious land ­teeming with peculiar beings and the most absurd places. In no time at all, she joins a bizarre tea party and plays ­croquet with the Queen of Hearts. But most puzzling of all is Alice herself. As she bravely takes on Wonderland’s ­challenges, she is forced to answer the question: »Who in the world am I?«
