John Bunyan’s classic novel and allegory for the Christian life becomes a charming & challenging ballet brought to life by students from the School of Ballet 5:8. The story leads Christian on an epic journey through many different towns and countrysides, on a road that is filled with both monsters and unexpected blessings.
