About Echoes in 8

Echoes in 8 is an original dance-theatre work that traces the early life and celebrated career of international ballet star Mara Galeazzi. Interweaving spoken word, original choreography, and cinematic staging, the production explores Galeazzi’s emotional journey from a small town in Italy to the Royal Ballet’s world stage. Featuring multiple representations of Mara across time, a memory-like male figure, and archival elements, Echoes in 8 examines memory, identity, ambition, and the power of dance to transcend trauma. This intimate yet expansive work blends classical virtuosity with contemporary theatricality in a deeply personal and affecting tribute to a life devoted to art.
