Shake up your spring with electric new dance experiences! Back for the first time since its premiere in 2019, Eva Stone’s elegant F O I L explores different sides of the human experience from Stone’s unique storytelling lens. Christopher Wheeldon’s This Bitter Earth is an emotionally striking pas de deux set to a poignant remix of Dinah Washington’s “This Bitter Earth” and Max Richter’s “On the Nature of Daylight.” To close, choreographer Kyle Abraham will bring his unique avant-garde aesthetic to PNB for the first time in a world premiere work.
