Continuing my “Queering the Canon: Reimagining the Ballets Russes” series begun in 2021, I'll be showing two new works: Jeux an original queer reimagining of Vaslav Nijinsky's 1913 ballet set to the eponymous poème dansé by Claude Debussy, and A Child's Tale, reimagining Léonide Massine's 1917 ballet Contes Russes, set to music by Anatoly Lyadov. The works feature original costume designs by Reid & Harriet Design and longtime collaborator Andrew Jordan, lighting design by Joe Levasseur, and additional sound design by Tei Blow.
Performers: Mariah Anton Arters, Christiana Axelsen, Cemiyon Barber, Janet Charleston, Kyle Gerry, Dominica Greene, Elise Knudson, Caitlin Scranton, Paul Singh, Carol Teitelbaum, Mac Twining, and Carlo Antonio Villanueva
