A Timeless Story of Love, Loss, and Redemption: Ballet Magnificat! Brings Ruth to Melbourne!
Ruth
Ruth, a rich and captivating production, showcases the technical strengths of Ballet Magnificat! The vibrant lighting and colorful costuming set the stage for a ballet that powerfully depicts the human experiences of loss, loneliness, love, and ultimately hope.
Set in Spain and America in the early 1900s, choreographer Jiri Sebastian Voborsky puts a contemporary spin on this Biblical story of tragedy and redemption. Naomi and daughter-in-law, Ruth, are bound together by their shared grief. The two women sail for America, Naomi’s home, to begin a new life. Upon arrival, Ruth is denied entrance. Boaz redeems the situation by purchasing Ruth’s citizenship in the New World—paralleling the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who paid the price for our salvation.
