Description

Beauty on the Brink


A circus after dark. Swordplay and corsets. Explosive movement. The one-act ballets in April’s mixed-bill crackle with energy, drama, and potent humanity.


MADCAP

In Dani Rowe’s award-winning MADCAP, an aging clown finds himself at a crossroads. A mischievous, theatrical, and vulnerable portrait of an artist taking off his mask.


PETITE MORT

Jiří Kylián’s sensual, arresting ballet that moves with razor-sharp precision through themes of gender, power, sex, and surrender. Set to luminous music from Mozart and framed by costumes that evoke an elevated, Baroque world, Kylián’s masterwork probes the fine, thrilling line between a duel and a duet.
