As the performing arts recover from the difficult and uncertain times brought about by the pandemic, Carlos Acosta presents this new version of a work originally conceived in 2010 alongside Cuban ballerina Laura Rodríguez, an original member of his company Acosta Danza, founded in Cuba in 2015. On Before tells the story of the doomed love between a man and a woman, against the backdrop of a varied musical repertory that goes from Handel to contemporary Cuban composer Omar Puente and that culminates with Morten Lauridsen’s O Magnum Mysterium, sung live by the O Vos Omnes choir.

The Peralada Festival presents a unique opportunity to enjoy once again the great talent of one of the most outstanding performers on the international dance scene of recent times. Acosta, with an established and brilliant career in the United Kingdom, currently combines management of the Birmingham Royal Ballet with leading his own company, Acosta Danza based in Havana.

Don’t miss this profoundly personal dramatic spectacle that is guaranteed to be one of the highlights for the 36th edition of the festival.
