"CALL IT LOVE"Features four ballets:
ST. LOUIS BLUES
FEBRUARY 14–15 AT THE TOUHILL
Choreography by Gen Horiuchi
Music by TOYA after W. C Handy
Choreographed by Gen Horiuchi, this dynamic ballet set to W.C. Handy’s soulful rhythms returns by popular demand. Fresh from a successful Tokyo run, it features live jazz by New York-based composer Toya and stunning vocals by celebrated jazz singer Denise Thimes
HALLELUJAH JUNCTION
Choreography by Peter Martins
Music by John Adams
Martins’ Hallelujah Junction is a living locomotive of propulsive vitality, set to a pulsing John Adams score. The work centers on delayed repetition between the two pianos, creating an effect of echoing sonorities. There is a constant shift of pulse and meter, but the main rhythms are based on the rhythms of the word “Hal-le-LU-jah.”
THE CHAIRMAN DANCES
Choreography by Peter Martins
Music by John Adams
Combining the vocabulary of classical dance with a suggestion of traditional Chinese lyric gestures and pageantry, The Chairman Dances builds on the repetitiveness of its minimalist score and boldly colorful staging.
LITURGY
Choreography by Christopher Wheeldon
Music by Arvo Pärt
This contemplative pas de deux has a hushed, mystical quality as two dancers separate and return to one another with ever increasing intensity before disappearing into the darkness together.
