Watch dancers of The Royal Ballet in extended rehearsal and hear the concluding thoughts of Christopher Wheeldon ahead of the world premiere of his new full-length ballet. The last in a three-part Insight special dedicated to exploring this new adaptation of Laura Esquivel's novel Like Water for Chocolate.

A modern Mexican classic of magic realism provides the basis for The Royal Ballet’s new full-length work, reuniting Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon with the creative team who transformed Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and The Winter’s Tale into dance, composer Joby Talbot and designer Bob Crowley.
