New Chamber Ballet's 2015/16 season continues with a program of five ballets by Miro Magloire with live music on violin and piano:
The World Premiere of the complete version of Ravel'd, to Maurice Ravel's 2nd violin sonata.
Mandragore, to music by Tristan Murail, a duet in which the dancers "are fearless, strong and supple as they wrap around one another, performing lifts and mutually supportive feats in an unusual mixture of power and intimacy." (Philip Gardner, Oberon's Grove)
The revival of Klavierstück, the company's signature piece, to music by Karlheinz Stockhausen. Klavierstück "creates strange, potent images of the relationship among the dancers, the pianist and the piano... The best piece [Magloire] has choreographed since I've been watching the company." (Roslyn Sulcas, The New York Times)
In The Parlour, set to Mozart's violin sonata in e Minor. "In this domestic drama, three women express shifts in friendships and matters of trust." (Philip Gardner, Oberon's Grove)
The revival of Entangled, a quartet for on- and off-pointe dancers, in which fast and slow duets alternate with interlaced quartet moments, energized by Paganini's fiery violin Caprices.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
FRIDAY & SATURDAY @ 8 PM
