Since it was founded in 2000, Eugene’s Ballet Fantastique has put its own twist on contemporary ballet. Their all-original ballets include “Cinderella” as a ’60s rock opera, “Pride & Prejudice” set in 1920s’ Paris and a Wild West spin on William Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.”

This February, East meets West in the company’s newest production, “Tales From the Floating World.” Inspired by Asian legends of samurai adventure, romance and the supernatural, the ballet runs Feb. 7-9 at the Hult Center in Eugene.

Ballet Fantastique was founded by mother-daughter choreographer-producers Donna Marisa and Hannah Bontrager. The ballet company is unique in that it only produces and creates all-original contemporary ballets (approximately three to five a year), according to its website.

Part of the “New Legends” series, “‘Tales From the Floating World’ fuses fierce rhythm and indelible melody with evocative movement, weaving together the sounds of the ancient past to tell epic stories from a world of caprice,” according to the website. Live music will be played by the award-winning Asian American drumming ensemble Portland Taiko and live koto player Mitsuki Dazai.

Ballet Fantastique will round out the season with “The Book of Esther: A Rock Gospel Ballet.” Featuring the UO Gospel Singers, the ballet runs May 9-11 in Eugene.

Ticket prices range from $28-$48, plus fees, depending on the seat location. Discounts for youth and student tickets are available. To purchase tickets, visit www.hultcenter.org or call 541-682-5000.
