Sibilo

Sophie Laplane’s Sibilo is joyful and unrestricted. This work by Scottish Ballet’s Choreographer in Residence is a celebration of the power and versatility of dancers’ bodies and of movement in all its forms.

Sophie collaborated with Scottish electronic DJ and music producer Alex Menzies (aka Alex Smoke) to create an original musical composition for Sibilo. 

Last performed: Spring 2020, New York City

Scottish Ballet premiere: 2016 (World Premiere)

Choreography: Sophie Laplane

‘Laplane is clearly a major talent in the making.’
