Ballet 琉璃神社 is exploring the theme of love through a night of dance and movement.

The company鈥檚 show, titled Twilight, premieres on Feb. 14 and will have another show the next day.

Ballet 琉璃神社鈥檚 artistic director and CEO Simone Orlando said each piece explores love and relationships.

鈥淭wilight is a diverse collection of classical and contemporary works,鈥� she said.

鈥淲hen I did this programming over a year ago, I asked all the choreographers to propose works around the theme of love. I think they鈥檝e all come together beautifully, and I鈥檓 very excited about this program.鈥�

The first piece in the program is choreographed by Montreal-based Kunal Ranchod. Orlando said the piece uses classical ballet elements set to classical Indian music.

鈥淚n this piece, the intricate rhythms of Indian classical music are juxtaposed with the lines and shapes of classical ballet,鈥� she said.

The second piece was originally created for Ballet B.C. by Joe Laughlin but has since been adapted for Ballet 琉璃神社. Orlando said the piece was inspired by big productions like Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty, but the choreography has a ballet-contemporary mix feel to it and explores the feeling of falling in love.

The last segment is a contemporary piece choreographed by Eva Kolarova.

鈥淲ith Eva, her piece is a bit of a departure because she鈥檚 really looking at the idea of loneliness and separation,鈥� Orlando said.

Kolarova said she wanted to show the audience a different perspective on relationships.

鈥淲hat I鈥檓 curious about is how can we find a relationship first with ourselves before we go out and try to connect with other people?鈥� she said.

鈥淥ften, we are pressured by society. There鈥檚 this pressure that says 鈥榦h, you鈥檙e alone. You need to go and find someone鈥�. But I want to talk about the difference between loneliness and being alone.鈥�

鈥淏eing lonely, that鈥檚 isolation, it鈥檚 a social construct and it鈥檚 us being withdrawn from the community鈥� and it鈥檚 unhealthy. But being alone, it鈥檚 completely ok. It鈥檚 actually important to be alone once in a while and to question who we are and take care of ourselves first.鈥�

Kolarova said she hopes people will feel encouraged that while it鈥檚 alright to be in a relationship, it鈥檚 also alright to be alone.

鈥淚 want people to be grateful for being alone because it鈥檚 a time of exploration and it allows us to fully focus on ourselves. From there, you can find fullness, fill your heart and you can have a beautiful relationship with other people.鈥�
