Departures

Commissioned by Oregon Ballet Theatre, Departures premiered in June 2017 at the Rose Garden Amphitheater in Portland. It was performed again at Bodyvox Dance Center in June 2018.

“Hélène Simoneau’s Departures, which makes its welcome return here as the program opener. Seeing this deftly constructed work up close—a mosaic of inventive partnering—is a pleasure, revealing moments that I missed at last year’s debut in Washington Park.” - Heather Wisner, Oregon ArtsWatch
