Hubbard Street Dance Chicago will be performing two Las Vegas Premiere's - Jiří Kylián's Petite Mort and Sharon Eyal's Too Beaucoup for Dance Dance Dance! opening Nevada Ballet Theatre's 40th Anniversary Season on the Las Vegas Strip at Paris Las Vegas October 29 & 30.
Jiří Kylián choreographed Petite Mort for the Salzburg Festival in commemoration of the second centenary of Mozart's death. He chose as his music the slow movements of two of Mozart's most beautiful and popular piano concertos and plays with black baroque dresses, which at times appear to exist separately from the dancers and at others to be molded to their bodies.
Too Beaucoup is a full-company work created for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago by Sharon Eyal and her co-creator Gaï Behar. This world premiere is the choreographic sequel to Bill, a piece created by Eyal and Behar for Batsheva Dance Company in 2010, inspired partly by the video artist Bill Viola. Bill is about things people experience very strongly, which change without notice - like a view passing by.
NBT will be performing George Balanchine's Concerto Barocco; and Canfield's Cinq Gnossiennes with live accompaniment along with Canfield's Up, a ballet performed to versions of Richards Rogers "Blue Moon."
Listen to KNPR's "State of Nevada's" interview with Glenn Edgerton (Artistic Director of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago) and James Canfield discuss the pieces being performed.
