P3 – FANCIFUL JOURNEY

Balanchine’s Rubies, the central piece of his iconic full length ballet Jewels, opens Program Three with vibrancy and flair, perfectly counterbalanced by Stravinsky’s dissonant and edgy score. Edwaard Liang returns with the Company premiere of Wunderland. Matching the pulsating rhythms of Philip Glass’ score, Liang seamlessly molds striking poses and geometric formations to blend tension and harmony. The long-awaited world premiere of Sir David Bintley’s The Spider’s Feast closes the program. Bintley’s whimsical choreography transports audiences to a bustling garden filled with colorful insects while an arachnid menace surreptitiously stalks its prey. Brought to life with incredible sets and costumes by renowned designer Dick Bird, The Spider’s Feast is sure to delight audiences.
