Lauded for its versatility and innovative repertory, Columbus, OH-based BalletMet will grace the stage with a program featuring a stunning Northrop Centennial Commission and a joyful ode to music through dance.
Timeless Tide brings swirling energy to depict the gravitational pull of time and the countless interactions that guide its continuous momentum. Set to an original score by Michel Banabila, it is the latest work from acclaimed artistic director, dancer, and choreographer Yue Yin. World-renowned choreographer Edwaard Liang’s Seasons, inspired by Max Richter’s reimagining of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, gracefully depicts the cycle of seasons with dynamic movement and evocative imagery.
BalletMet’s new artistic director, Remi Wörtmeyer choreographed Miroirs. French for “mirrors,” Miroirs hovers between neoclassical and contemporary dance, inspired by Ravel’s poetic music, which was written in five movements, each dedicated to a fellow member of the French avant-garde group Les Apaches. Miroirs is a non-narrative piece that contains inspirations of reflection—literally in the metallic costumes and chain set, and figuratively in the idea of seeing our world, our narcissism, and our relationships in reflection.
