Belle - A Performance of Air

Belle – A Performance of Air is a groundbreaking fusion of contemporary dance, aerial choreography, immersive light architecture, and live music that sculpturally transforms air. With a powerful female-led cast and cinematic design, the work dissolves the stage boundary, creating a poetic, transcendent environment where bodies appear weightless and elemental. Critically acclaimed as “utterly breathtaking” and “one of our greatest cultural exports,” Belle offers presenters a visually arresting, high-impact experience adaptable to proscenium and alternative spaces. Ideal for audiences drawn to cutting-edge contemporary performance, visual spectacle, and emotionally resonant, design-driven work, it is built for festival and touring contexts seeking ambitious, genre-defying art that demonstrates excellence, innovation, and the collaborative strength of Aotearoa’s creative community
