The Netherlands' most acclaimed and lauded prima ballerina
After three full-length theatre programmes of her own, Igone de Jongh goes back to the core. Back to her ultimate form of beauty, dance! In Beauty Persists, Igone comes to the theatres with a Triple Bill in which she will perform three world premieres. All created especially for her by various nationally and internationally renowned choreographers. Pieces in which they give beauty a face in their own way. From different zeitgeists, worlds are created because that beauty of the past is still there.
Igone de Jongh is our country's most applauded and lauded prima ballerina and a great source of inspiration for ballet lovers. After her career with the National Ballet, she toured the Dutch theatres in recent seasons with her own programmes I and Zin in liefde. She is also co-founder of The United Ukrainian Ballet Foundation, to protect, support and spread Ukrainian ballet and dance culture.
