ballet date culture

Helmond's De Cacaofabriek hosts Alice's Adventures in Wonderland on Monday, 21 September 2026 - Christopher Wheeldon's ballet adaptation of Lewis Carroll's tale. Alice follows a white rabbit down a rabbit hole into a world of strange encounters and romantic entanglements. This is one of two Dutch dates for the ballet; Eindhoven will follow later in 2027. The converted cocoa factory on Cacaokade now functions as a vibrant cultural hub, housing a concert hall, theatres, and studios, providing an intimate venue for this production.
