WONDERLAND is a contemporary and mature re-envisioning of the tale’s characters, events, and themes that will surprise and delight audiences. The Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit, and the Mad Hatter are all on hand, displaying generous doses of wit, camp and humour. The surreal and dark elements that lurk at the original story’s fringes are bravely realized in explosive passages of breathtaking dance and innovative multimedia. Shawn Hounsell, acclaimed choreographer and RWB alumnus, has transformed Wonderland into a multi-sensory experience, with edgy and athletic movement, an inventive electro-acoustic soundscape, and unexpected visual treats. This is Alice like you’ve never seen her before!



Founded in 1939, Royal Winnipeg Ballet has the distinction of being the longest continuously operating professional ballet company in North America.  In the 70-plus years since its birth, the company has earned an international reputation for creative and technical excellence and this newest creation in its repertoire will undoubtedly further its standing as a company of exceptional creativity and style.
