Maldonne
Leïla Ka
In 2027, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels™ and the Sydney Festival present in collaboration the show Maldonne by Leïla Ka as part of the Festival in Sydney.
Five female dancers perform in 40 different dresses— from cocktail, wedding and everyday dresses to nightgowns and ball gowns. Garments that fly, shine, burst, spin, trail on the ground or fall. Maldonne is an evocative piece that explores the fragility, rebellion and multifacetedness co-existing within womanhood.
Leïla Ka’s earliest three works—Pode ser, You’re the one we love and Bouffées—are solo or duet dances which received international acclaim and won several awards.
Maldonne, her first group piece, was nominated for the International Dance Prize 2025 at Sadler’s Wells in London and has been performed more than 100 times. The show premieres in the USA at the Dance Reflections Festival.
