And so, the favorite prima ballerina of the Zurich ballet of the last 2 decades, Ian Khan, creates her own ballet troupe, where she is also a leading dancer. After a sensationally successful debut at the Shanghai Festival in the fall of 2019, the new project is gaining momentum, and an evening of 3 ballets is created, going to the piano solo music performed by Alexei Botvinov. Along with the famous masterpiece of Heinz Sperli- “Nocturnes” to Chopin’s music, Filipe Portugal will present their new creations to Philippe Portugal, Ian Khan’s long-time partner in the Sperli troupe and the famous dancer and choreographer Ken Ossola, who came from Jiri Killian’s NDT company.
