Experience the brilliance of three major European choreographers in a program that celebrates the range, nuance, and stylistic diversity of contemporary ballet. Van Manen’s Grosse Fuge strips movement to its essence—precise, sensual, and utterly exacting. Wheeldon’s Within the Golden Hour, costumed by Zac Posen, moves from virtuosic clarity into sweeping romantic lyricism. Khan’s Dust draws from the haunting legacy of WWI—visceral, dramatic, and emotionally unsparing. From Dutch precision and British elegance to Khan’s singular fusion of South Asian and Western movement — this curation presents a portrait of the art form at its most inventive, disciplined, and alive.
