American Repertory Ballet presents: Sinatra, Shadows and Stars
Experience
an outstanding evening of dance with American Repertory Ballet featuring two new
works by The Company’s Artistic Director, Graham Lustig, and international
choreographer, Lisa de Ribere, in addition to two works by Twyla Tharp.
Shadows in the Attic by Graham Lustig is a new work inspired by the
powerful spirit of survival expressed by the family of Anne Frank and their
extraordinarily brave Dutch friends whose daily help was essential to the
family’s safety.
Starry Nights by Lisa de Ribere is a part of American
Repertory Ballet’s commissioning program, Dancing Through the Ceiling, which
promotes classically-based women choreographers. De Ribere’s piece about the
creative muse is inspired by three paintings by Van Gogh, Starry Night Over
the Rhone; 1888, The Café Terrasse, Arles, at Night; 1888, and The Starry
Night; 1889.
In addition to these two pieces, American Repertory Ballet will
perform two Twyla Tharp pieces, Sinatra Suite, a duet choreographed to
five songs sung by Frank Sinatra, and Octet, one of Tharp’s
most distilled creations.
Rarely seen in New York, in this “fully abstract”
ballet, Tharp presents men and women in equal measure numerically, but shows off
the women somewhat more prominently using the music of bassist Edgar Meyer.
