For this production, the Russian-Belgian choreographer, Micha van Hoecke was inspired by the psychedelic sounds of the legendary band, Pink Floyd.

The ballet starts with the song 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond': Roger Waters and the other band members honour the leader, Syd Barrett, who is lost in the depths of his mental disorders. However, here the madness is transformed into light enchantment and a journey back to Micha's young years that were influenced by rock music and dance.

Daniele Cipriani’s dance company, together with Pink Floyd Legend, a brilliant Italian Pink Floyd 'matrix' band, make a visual and auditory encounter that is crowded with poetic shadows through which the experience speaks to us of hope.
